The Covered CP stent is comprised of the Bare CP stent that is covered with an expandable sleeve of EPTFE. Indicated for implantation in the native and/or recurrent coarctation of the aorta on patients with the following clinical conditions:
- Stenosis of the aorta resulting in significant anatomic narrowing as determined by angiography or non-invasive imaging.
- Stenosis of the aorta resulting in hemodynamic alterations, resulting in systolic pressure gradient, systemic hypertension or altered left ventricular function.
- Stenosis of the aorta where balloon angioplasty is ineffective or contraindicated.
- Stenosis diameter˃20% of the adjucent vessel diameter.
- Stenosis that would present increased risk of vascular damage or disruption.
- Aneurysm associated with coarctation of the aorta.
