Abstract
An 11-year-old boy developed an acute aortic pseudoaneurysm during bal loon dilation of unoperated coarctation of the aorta. The pseudoaneury sm occurred despite the fact that the balloon catheter size did not ex ceed the diameter of the aorta at the diaphragm. Elective delayed surg ical repair was successfully performed after 3 weeks of antihypertensi ve treatment when serial magnetic resonance imaging had demonstrated a reduction in the local tissue swelling.
