Abstract
We report the case of a 21-year-old man with complete atresia of the aorta who underwent percutaneous aortic intervention and successfully recanalize the atresia of the aorta with the artery “Railway” technique. A fully atretic aorta poses a challenge for a percutaneous solution and is often subject to open repair, considering the risk of perforation and technical failure. However, our case demonstrates that a strategic and structured approach is safe and successful to even tackle complete aortic atresia without complications such as rupture or bleeding.
