We present a case of surgical treatment of a pseudoaneurysm of the right-sided aortic arch after stent implantation for primary coarctation in a 36-year-old woman with a previous history of ventricle septal defect closure in early childhood. As a first step, she underwent a left carotid to subclavian artery bypass for an aberrant left subclavian artery and as a second step a ‘beating heart’ aortic arch and descending aorta replacement via resternotomy. The postoperative course was uneventful.
