Pseudocoarctation of Aorta Associated with Aneurysm Formation

S. Bahabozorgui M.D.1; Robert G. Bernstein M.D.1; and R. W. M. Frater M.D.1

We report a patient with a large, thin-walled saccular aneurysm below the kinked area of the aorta. This was successfully resected. Review of the literature discloses a similar case that ruptured. Pseudocoarctation of the aorta cannot, therefore, be regarded as entirely benign: it may produce hemodynamic conditions for development of aneurysm. Careful follow-up and appropriate surgical treatment is recommended for all cases.
