ABSTRACT
Coarctation of the aorta is a common congenital abnormality that may be associated with serious and rare anomalies like aneurysms. Severe coarctation or interrupted aortic arch in adults is usually managed by percutaneous interventions or extra-anatomic bypass. However, the presence of an aneurysm beyond the coarcted segment implies the opening of a collateral-rich segment of the aorta with redressal of the arch if hypoplastic. We describe our experience in managing three such patients through antero-lateral thoracotomy with antegrade cerebral perfusion. We have found this technique helpful in treating aneurysms of the distal aortic arch or proximal descending thoracic aorta.
