Abstract
Coarctation of the thoracic aorta is a frequently seen condition and may cause late anastomotic complications after surgical repair, which
often necessitates urgent treatment. Endovascular treatment methods in this group seem to be life-saving due to high mortality and
morbidity rates of conventional open surgical repair. Postcoarction repair and bovine arch anomaly are also complicating factors and may
cause additional morbidity.
