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. Copyright 2002 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
