During follow-up, aneurysm formation in adults with coarctation of aorta has been reported after undergoing extra-anatomical aortic bypass grafting. Endovascular repair was a reasonable treatment option but there were still complications.
Case presentation
A 48-year-old male who underwent extra-anatomical aortic bypass grafting, presented with severe back pain and hemoptysis. He had a diagnosed pseudoaneurysm with concealed rupture at the bypass grafting. He underwent endovascular repair and coil embolization. A postsurgical CT-angiogram showed there was extravasation from stent into the pseudoaneurysm. An open repair with endovascular stent removal instead of restenting was performed.
