Abstract
Aortic dissection is very rare in pediatric patients, and associated risk factors include congenital heart disease, previous cardiac surgery, and vasculopathies. Acute postoperative aortic dissection in pediatric patients can be life-threatening. We performed a novel hybrid transcarotid covered stent exclusion of a postoperative ascending aortic dissection in an infant. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
