However, uncorrected aortic coarctation is rarely encountered in adults. Furthermore, when present, aortic coarctation is most commonly associated with ascending aortic aneurysms. Here we present a case of a rare combination of massive ascending and descending thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs), type B aortic dissection, and severe aortic valve regurgitation further complicated by severe left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction in a patient with an uncorrected aortic coarctation. To our knowledge, this is the first known report with this combination and severity of aortopathy.
