  • Title: Aortic coarctation repair with patch graft aortoplasty and severe hemoptysis.
    Author: Santo K, Bryan AJ, Ascione R.
    Journal: Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann; 2005 Sep; 13(3):277-9. PubMed ID: 16113005.
    Abstract:
    This report describes the successful treatment of a confirmed case of hemoptysis from a false aneurysm at the site of a previous coarctation repair. Professionals involved in the clinical care of patients that have undergone previous coarctation repair with patch graft aortoplasty, should be aware of the late risk of false aneurysm occurrence. Periodically screening patients with magnetic resonance imaging to prevent potentially fatal complications is recommended.
