Abstract

In our case report, we present a case of successful antegrade balloon angioplasty performed via the femoral vein on a 980-gram neonate with severe coarctation of the aorta. Upon reviewing the literature, we found no cases of balloon angioplasty for coarctation performed via the femoral vein in infants with a lower birth weight than in our case. Our aim is to underline that each patient may require individual evaluation and management options.

Keywords
