Abstract

We present a case of coarctation of the aorta with a poststenotic aneurysm in a 79-year-old male patient. Diagnostic studies included computed tomographic angiogram, magnetic resonance angiogram and digital substraction angiogram. Our patient underwent operative therapy that resulted in improvement of his hypertension and cardiac function.
