Background: - In the past 50 years, therapeutic options for treating both children and adults with native aortic coarctation have significantly improved. In contrast to surgery, In 1982, balloon angioplasty (BA) was suggested as a potential alternative for the Primary treatment of CoA. Here, Surgery vs Angioplasty is compared to understand the rates of their compilations like aneurysm and recoarctation. Method:- A total of 13 RCTs with a total of 877 patients (Surgery-537, Angioplasty-340) of total patients were identified following PRISMA guidelines till November 2019 and were matched for inclusion and exclusion criteria. The following search strings and MESH terms were used: 'coarctation of aorta', 'surgery', 'balloon angioplasty, and 'aneurysm'. Following this, Surgery and Angioplasty were evaluated for complications and recoarctation. RevMan 5.3 was used for appropriate statistical tests. Fixed and Random Effect Model tests were used and p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Result: - Angioplasty seems to be a Statistically better alternative with lesser complications (OR=1.993, CI95=1.126 to 3.527, p=0.018). It can be seen that Surgery is statistically far better in preventing the formation of an aneurysm (OR=0.291, CI95=0.141 to 0.602, p=0.001). Surgery as a treatment is statistically better than angioplasty to prevent a recoarctation (OR=0.375, CI95=0.268 to 0.524, p=<0.001). Conclusion: - Surgery is found to be a better treatment option for preventing complications whereas angioplasty is better in preventing the formation of aneurysms and recoarctation. Key words:- Coarctation of Aorta, Surgery, Balloon Angioplasty, Aneurysm
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
