Type II endoleak after endoluminal repair of thoracic aortic aneurysm associated with native coarctation

Abstract

Aneurysm formation and recurrent coarctation are common complications of coarctation repair, and various types of treatment have been described. Native aortic coarctation during adult life is rarer and can be responsible for severe complications. We report an original case of thoracic aortic aneurysm associated with native coarctation successfully treated by a hybrid approach, comprising retrograde implantation of a thoracic stent graft and carotid-axillary bypass graft. A large intercostal collateral was embolized with coils.
