Endovascular Treatment for Pseudoaneurysms after Surgical Correction of Aortic Coarctation

Figure 1

(a) Aortic angiography showing an angulated aortic arch and a small caliber thoracic aorta. A lobulated aortic pseudoaneurysm extends proximally to the left subclavian artery, and a large caliber balloon-expandable stent is adhered to the aortic wall at its distal end. (b) Final result after completion of the carotid subclavian bypass and exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm. A heparin-related leak can be found which extends to the left subclavian artery. (c) and (d) Angio-CT images showing exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm without evidence of leakage.
