Abstract

Aortic aneurysm following subclavian flap repair of coarctation of the aorta is thought to occur infrequently. We present a case in which aneurysm of the subclavian flap was found 10 years after the original surgery. The location and extent of the aneurysm was clearly defined using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This report adds further support to recent recommendations to make cardiac MRI a routine imaging study for all postoperative patients from coarctation of the aorta repair.
