Abstract

Despite initial technical success in the treatment of coarctation of aorta, late recurrence and/or development of aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms frequently prompt reintervention. The authors hereby present such a patient whose management required more than a single intervention to treat his complex anatomy, and they discuss the therapeutic alternatives under similar circumstances.
