Abstract

Congenital abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with coarctation has been considered an extremely rare condition. In this study, we present a 3-year-old boy, who was diagnosed by chance with congenital AAA at first operation. We replaced the AAA+coarctation with a 6-mm polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft. Histological examination of the aortic wall revealed no particular abnormalities. Collateral vessels were noted to develop over 14 years of followup. Good blood flow to both lower limbs and no intermittent claudication were observed. After growth, at the age 17, he underwent extra-anatomical bypass using a 12-mm PTFE graft. This is the first report of successful treatment of congenital AAA+coarctation with longterm followup.
