Open surgery is traditionally offered but with the advance of medical technology, endovascular approached is available in many country. Failure to control BP in open surgery is as low as 4.1% compares to 13% in endovascular approaches. However, mortality is 4% in open surgery almost 2 times higher than 2.3% in endovascular approach. This article presents a case of 10 years old child treated successfully without complication with endovascular balloon dilatation, as a first case of such disease in East Malaysia.
