N2 - Previously, open surgical repair was the primary treatment for pediatric blunt thoracic aortic injury (BTAI). However, thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has recently become the most frequently used treatment option. Given the rarity of this pathology, long term complications and sizing difficulties of TEVAR in a growing aorta have not been well documented. Here we report two-year follow-up after successful endovascular repair of traumatic BTAI in a pediatric patient with concern for stent-graft-associated aortic stenosis similar to coarctation.
