Mycotic aneurysm: a lesser known complication of coarctation repair in a child, managed by endovascular aneurysm repair

We report a 12-year-old child diagnosed with mycotic aneurysm at the site of coarctation of aorta (CoA) repair. Surgical intervention, though very high risk, is the mainstay of management. In selected cases endovascular stenting is being reported in adults. Here we report the use of an endovascular...
