RESUMO
We report our experience with one patient with recurrent coarctation and aneurysm degeneration treated endoluminally. A novel technique was used combining balloon-expandable with self-expandable endografts. The balloon-expandable component expanded the area of stenosis and also created a neck to allow the implantation of the self-expandable endograft to exclude the aneurysm. Mismatch of diameters was solved with the creation of a new proximal neck, in which the distal end was progressively expanded to reach the appropriate diameter to implant the self-expandable endograft inside. Expansion of the narrow stenosis and complete exclusion of the aneurysm was achieved without a residual pressure gradient.
