CT—Guided Endovascular Exclusion of Pseudoaneurysmal Subclavian Bypass After Early-Age Surgical Correction of Complex Aortic Coarctation

Abstract

We describe a 64-year-old woman with subclavian pseudoaneurysm after aortic coarctation repair, treated using a hybrid approach involving true three-dimensional analysis and image fusion-guided placement of thoracic endovascular aortic repair stents. This case illustrates the potential complications of coarctation repair and need for lifelong surveillance in these patients. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
