    Author: Kino K, Sano S, Sugawara E, Kohmoto T, Kamada M.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1996 Apr; 61(4):1262-4. PubMed ID: 8607704.
    Abstract:
    Late aneurysms are common after repair of coarctation of the aorta by prosthetic patch aortoplasty but are rare after subclavian flap aortoplasty. We present the case of a 14-year-old boy who underwent a grafting procedure for a descending thoracic aortic aneurysm after subclavian flap aortoplasty for coarctation of the aorta when he was 2 years old. This is the fifth report of late aneurysm formation after subclavian flap aortoplasty.
