Thoracic aortic aneurysm is uncommon in pediatric patients. 1,2 Its association with congenital valvar aortic stenosis is rarely seen in infants. 3 To the best of our knowledge there have been no prior reports of surgical treatment of an aortic isthmus aneurysm in an infant with critical aortic stenosis.
