Popis: Aneurysms of descending thoracic aorta following surgical repair of coarctation have been reported in literature. Almost always, they are seen in repairs involving prosthetic patch aortoplasty. We report a neonate who underwent resection and an extended end to end anastomosis repair of coarctation and subsequently developed a huge pseudoaneurysm at a 3-month follow-up. He underwent a repair of the same through a sternotomy approach under hypothermic low flow cardiopulmonary bypass. An autologous pericardial patch aortoplasty was done successfully.
