Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine, 2008
A 15-year-old girl underwent patch aortoplasty for repair of a long-segment coarctation of the aorta 7 years ago. Balloon angioplasty had been performed twice, 3 and 5 years after the aortoplasty, because of recurrent coarctation of the aorta. She was scheduled for balloon angioplasty and stent implantation.

Atherosclerotic pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 2003
Pseudoaneurysms in the ascending aorta most commonly occur as a complication of surgical procedures at this site. They have also been reported in association with trauma, infection, aortitis, and other disorders. Pseudoaneurysm formation in the descending aorta or arch may occur as a result of penetrating ulcers in the presence of severe ...
