A 50-year-old male patient who had coarctation surgery history was admitted to our hospital with complaints of hematemesis and melena. Computed tomography showed extravasation of the distal anastomosis of the descending aorta and periesophageal and left thoracic hematoma. A hybrid surgery with new graft interposition between supraceliac abdominal aorta and the distal part of the prior graft was performed in combination with thoracic endovascular aortic repair. Aorta coarctation surgery may have high complication risk. Hybrid treatment of such complications reduces the mortality and morbidity risk.
