Abstract

An 11-year-old boy presented with Staphylococcus aureus infective endarteritis and mycotic pseudoaneurysms within the context of a previously undiagnosed aortic coarctation. He had an urgent resection of the pseudoaneurysm and coarctation repair. Nuances to his initial diagnosis and key learning points related to the complication of pseudoaneurysm are discussed.<br /> (Copyright © 2019 Canadian Cardiovascular Society.
