We describe the occurrence of a carotid pseudoaneurysm in a child 3 years following cannulation for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. This lesion occurred in the context of a previously unsuspected coarctation of the aorta. This may likely predispose to the development of the pseudoaneurysm or may be an incidental association.

Key Words: Pseudoaneurysm; Coarctation of aorta; Mechanical assisted circulation
