    Abstract:
    We report a case of a 51-year-old man presenting with pseudoaneurysm associated with a knitted Dacron patch used to repair coarctation of the aorta. At the age of 15 years, he underwent patch angioplasty for coarctation of the aorta. However the computed tomography( CT) scan, taken after 36 years, demonstrated pseudoaneurysm of the thoracic aorta at the anastmotic site. He was treated by endovascular stent graft using Gore-TAG 3115. His postoperative course was uneventful. Follow-up CT scan demonstrated no recurrence of pseudoaneurysm.
