Large Diameter Advanta V12 Covered Stent Trial for Coarctation of the Aorta: COARC Study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Covered stent implantation for treatment of coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is effective and can prevent aortic wall injury. Prospective studies with long-term follow-up, including imaging, are lacking. We report the acute and long-term outcomes for use of the Large Diameter Advanta V12 covered stent for treatment of native and recurrent CoA. METHODS: A prospective, multicenter, nonrandomized study was performed including 70 patients (43 male), median age 17 years, median weight 57.4 kg with CoA who underwent implantation of the Large Diameter Advanta V12 covered stent. Annual follow-up for 5 years included Doppler echocardiography to calculate diastolic velocity: systolic velocity ratio. RESULTS: <0.0001) and was maintained at 5 years. Computed tomography angiograms at 12 months postimplantation demonstrated the stent:transverse arch diameter to be similar, 0.91±0.09 to postprocedure 0.86±0.14. Major adverse vascular events at 30 days and 12 months were 1.4% and 4.3%, respectively. Significant adverse events included three patients who required stent implantation to treat infolding. There were no mortalities. CONCLUSIONS: The Large Diameter Advanta V12 covered stent is safe and effective for the treatment of CoA with an immediate and sustained reduction of the pressure gradient over 12 months and 5 years as assessed by preimplantation and postimplantation Doppler echocardiography and 12-month computed tomography angiography.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
