title: [Aortic aneurysm associated with coarctation of the aorta].
abstract: An 8-year-old female of coarctation of the aorta associated with thoracic aortic aneurysm is reported. Under cardiopulmonary bypass, a 7 cm section of the aorta containing the aneurysm and coarctation was resected and replaced by a 16 mm woven Dacron tube. The postoperative recovery was complicated by chylothorax treated by thoracic aspiration. She is doing well 3 months after the operation. Histologic sections of the resected portions of the thoracic aorta revealed intimal hyperplasia, medial fibrosis and decrease of elastic fibers, especially in the aneurysm.
