We report a case of congenital coarctation of the lower thoracic aorta. The patient, a 15-year-old man, presenting with the signs of classical coarctation, had the diagnosis confirmed by an aortography. A good surgical result was achieved by means of resection of the internal shelf and aortoplasty using a bovine pericardium patch. One year after the operation the patient has normal blood pressure with good femoral pulses.
