title: [Aortic coarctation associated with a large aneurysm].
abstract: The case of a symptomatic 16-year-old girl, referred with the diagnosis of coarctation of the aorta is presented. Aortography showed a severe coarctation and a huge aneurysm distal to the coarctation. Successful operation was performed with resection of the coarctation and aneurysm and interposition of a tube of bovine pericardium for the anastomosis. Two months after the operation the blood pressure was normal and a 10 mm/Hg gradient was detected by doppler-echocardiography.
