A 28-year-old pregnant woman presents with arterial hypertension of the upper limbs. The examination suggests an aortic coarctation. After a normal delivery, a contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a subocclusive aortic coarctation of the descending thoracic aorta and a 33-mm aneurysm developed from the left cervical-thoracic artery. The coarctation of the aorta was treated by a stent graft, and the aneurysm was treated by an injection of thrombin and glue. Keywords: Aneurysm, Coarctation, Stent-graft
