Endovascular Repair of a Pseudoaneurysm After Multiple Open Repairs of Aortic Coarctation.

We report the case of a 41-year-old man who underwent endovascular repair of a pseudoaneurysm after previous surgical corrections of an aortic coarctation at 6 and 14 years of age. The pseudoaneurysm, involving the distal portion of an ascending-to-descending aortic 20-mm Dacron bypass graft, was successfully excluded with a thoracic stent-graft and sealed off with vascular plugs to prevent both blood flow into the pseudoaneurysm and type II endoleak.
