In a 15 year old boy with the hypercalcemia syndrome and severe supravalvular aortic stenosis, aneurysms of the ascending aorta and the aortic arch not present at the first catheterization 8 years earlier $$Word$$ were found.
This unusual complication is probably caused by the general vascular deficiency seen in this syndrome.
Stenosis and aneurysms were successfully repaired by a teflon prosthesis replacing the ascending aorta and the aortic arch.
