Thoracoabdominal computed tomography angiography (CTA) confirmed the initial clinical suspicion of aortic coarctation (Figure 1A), distal to the origin of the left subclavian artery, with a partially thrombosed post-stenotic saccular aneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta, measuring 40 x 36 mm. After matching clinical recommendations about the convenience of an interventional repair with the patient's preferences, balloon angioplasty with placement of a covered stent was undertaken (Figure 1B).
