ABSTRACT

A female 11-year-old, was diagnosed with aortic coarctation and a great juxtaductal calficied aneurysm. Successful surgical repair through a left thoracotomy was performed and with left heart bypass. The coarctation and aneurysm was removed. A 20-mm Dacron graft Hemashield (Meadox Medicals) was interposed. The postoperative course was uneventful, there was adequate control of blood pressure. She was discharged 7 days after operation. It is very rare the association of calcified aneurysm and coarctation in childhood.
