ABSTRACT

The aorta usually becomes aneurysmatic as a result of hemodynamic effects. It is uncommon in children and less frequent associated with aortic coarctation. Aneurysmatic formation is rare without previous endovascular or surgical procedures. We present two rare cases of aortic aneurysm associated with aortic coartaction without previous corrective procedure in pediatric patients.
