Ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication in heart
transplantation. Surgery is the most conventional management, but, in
some cases, it is high-risky. We report the case of a ten-year-old child
with heart transplantation that developed ascending aortic
pseudoaneurysm in the aortic anastomosis successfully treated with two
covered stents through endovascular management. To our knowledge, this
is the first report about endovascular therapy of an ascending aorta
pseudoaneurysm after heart transplantation in a pediatric patient.
