Abstract
We report a 31-year old woman who presented with acute onset of shortness of breath 19 years after multiple repairs of a preductal coarctation of the aorta using a Dacron tube graft. Imaging studies showed an aneurysm had developed in the tube graft. The aneurysmal tube graft was replaced during an open repair.
