Endovascular covered stent treatment for descending aorta pseudoaneurysm following coarctation of the aorta repair in an infant.

We describe the successful endovascular deployment of a covered stent in a sick infant with a descending aorta pseudoaneurysm, following the repair of an aortic coarctation.
