Abstract
Late complications at the repair site of coarctation of the aorta include aneurysms and persistent coarctation. Aneurysms are usually due to failure of the surgical anastomosis and can occur many years after repair. Continued aortic coarctation may be due to either repair failure or failure of the anastomotic site to grow with the patient. Three cases are presented and the literature reviewed.
