We describe the first case in our hospital of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in a 16 years old boy with congenital coarctation of the aorta. The technique, hemodynamic findings, angiography before and after dilation and the advantages in comparison with the conventional cardiac surgery were analyzed. In our case the gradient decreased from 60 mmHg to 28 mmHg. We conclude that this procedure is an alternative treatment for patients with congenital coarctation of the aorta.
