title: [Thoracic aortic aneurysm associated with aortic coarctation without previous surgery: report of two cases].
abstract: The aorta usually becomes aneurysmatic as a result of hemodynamic effects. It is uncommon in children and less frequently associated with aortic coarctation. Aneurysmatic formation is rare without previous endovascular or surgical procedures. We present two rare cases of aortic aneurysm associated with aortic coarctation without previous corrective procedure in pediatric patients.
