Management of a large pseudoaneurysm secondary to balloon dilation for native coarctation of the aorta with coil occlusion after stent implantation in a child.
We report a case of a 9-year-old girl status post-balloon dilation for native coarctation of the aorta who had a large aortic pseudoaneurysm 1 year after the initial procedure. The aneurysm was occluded with multiple coils after stent implantation to the aorta. The technique and possible advantages of this novel approach are discussed.
