Summary: Endovascular treatment options for vascular injury in pediatric patients are quite limited due to concerns with long-term durability and the lack of devices that are suitable for pediatric anatomy. However, in rare circumstances, open surgical therapies are not an option and require unconventional endovascular solutions for life or limb-saving therapies. We present an endovascular treatment of a pediatric patient who has failed initial surgical management of blunt abdominal aortic injury and developed aortic pseudoaneurysm.
