Sammanfattning

Since the introduction of surgical treatment for coarctation aortae, presentation of the disease with postcoarctation mycotic pseudoaneurysm has become rare. We report an 18-year-old male with endarteritis caused by Staphylococcus aureus treated with appropriate antibiotics. Later the patient developed an irritative cough and problems with swallowing. CT and MRI of the chest demonstrated a postcoarctation pseudoaneurysm. After acute surgery with resection of the coarctation and pseudoaneurysm and insertion of a tube graft, the patient had an uneventful postsurgical course.
