Six patients with thoracic-aorta aneurysms, developing at different dates after the correction of aortic coarctation and making up 19.6% of all aneurysms of the descending thoracic aorta, were investigated and underwent surgery. Aneurysm resection and prosthesis implantation were the method of choice. This operation was performed in 4 patients. Mean aortic occlusion time was 45 min. There were no fatal outcomes or paraplegia. The results were good in all patients.
