How much does a stent for aortic coarctation cost?

Aortic coarctation is divided into type A and type B. Type A requires surgical open-heart surgery, while type B can generally be treated with a descending aortic overlay stent. The cost of stenting for aortic coarctation generally ranges from $70,000 to $140,000, with slight variations depending on the regional fee schedule. The procedure for aortic coarctation implantation uses the femoral artery as the opening to allow the guidewire catheter to enter the location of the aortic coarctation breach and perform the release of the blocker or stent to plug the breach, which ensures that the true and false lumens form a closure and achieve the goal of curing the patient. Long-term cardiotonic, diuretic, and anti-inflammatory medications are also required after the procedure is completed so that the body can return to a healthy state.
