Abstract
Late aneurysm formation has been reported after every type of surgical coarctation repair in up to 10%, with rupture of such aneurysms being responsible for approximately 7% of all deaths. Secondary surgical repair carries a significant mortality (up to 15%) and morbidity rate (recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis ∼20%, phrenic nerve injury ∼5%). According to the positive experience with endovascular therapy of atherosclerotic thoracic aortic aneurysms, it is worthwhile to evaluate the concept of minimally invasive endovascular stent grafting for secondary repair of postsurgical aneurysms.
