Extraanatomic Aortic Bypass through a Median Sternotomy in a Patient with Coarctation of Aorta Associated with Annuloaortic Ectasia: A case report / 대한흉부외과학회지

ABSTRACT

Coarctation of the aorta is frequently associated with intracardiac disease. It is very difficult to decide on the best method for surgically treating adult patients with these combined heart diseases. We performed single-stage repair via a modified Bentall operation and by creating an intrapericardial ascending-descending aortic bypass through a median sternotomy in a patient with coarctation of the aorta and annuloaortic ectasia, and the latter was associated with aortic valve regurgitation.
