【 摘 要 】

BackgroundPost-coarctoplasty aortic pseudoaneurysms constitute a lethal problem occurring in up to 38% of patients with a history of aortic coarctation surgical repair. Such pseudoaneurysms are prone to rupture if managed conservatively and high mortality and morbidity if treated with open surgery. Therefore, the endovascular approach has been proposed for their management.Case reportWe describe a patient with a post-coarctoplasty aortic pseudoaneurysm complicated by an aortobronchial fistula. The case was treated via the endovascular approach (thoracic endovascular aortic repair and endovascular coarctoplasty) with an atrial septal defect occluder device.ConclusionsEndovascular repair is a feasible, safe, and promising treatment for thoracic aortic pseudoaneurysms secondary to coarctation repair.
