The authors report the case of an 18-year-old woman with Turner Syndrome and aortic coarctation, who developed aortic dissection after percutaneous stenting. Surgical treatment was necessary as the lesion progressed. This case highlights both the importance of awareness as well as multidisciplinary management of this potential complication.
