Young patients who receive stents to treat coarctation of the aorta see good hemodynamic results over the long term, combined data from the COAST and COAST II trials show, but late follow-up from these two studies also suggests that their complication risk doesn’t remain static stent fractures, reinterventions, and aortic aneurysms can arise 4 to 5 years after treatment.
This knowledge doesn’t mean that surgery is preferable, researchers say, but it does mean that clinicians should keep an eye out for potential problems that may develop.
COAST and COAST II, as reported by TCTMD, assessed the safety and efficacy of the balloon-expandable Cheatham-Platinum (CP) stent (NuMED). The device, available in both bare-metal and covered versions, was specifically designed to address aortic coarctation.

Five scientists with exceptional promise and novel approaches to fighting cancer have been named the 2021 recipients of the Damon Runyon Physician-Scientist Training Award. The awardees were selected through a highly competitive and rigorous process by a scientific committee comprised of leading cancer researchers who are themselves physician-scientists.
Physician-scientists, uniquely positioned to offer insight into patients experiences and needs, are essential to the translation of scientific discovery into effective therapies. However, this vital cadre of cancer researchers is declining at a time when cancer research holds the greatest promise of improving survival and quality of life among cancer patients.
To help increase the number of physician-scientists, the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation (Damon Runyon) created the Damon Runyon Physician-Scientist Training Award, which provides physicians who have completed clinical specialty fellowship training the opp
