Single-stage repair of adult aortic coarctation and concomitant cardiovascular pathologies: a new alternative surgical approach

摘要

BackgroundCoarctation of the aorta in the adulthood is sometimes associated with additional cardiovascular pathologies that require intervention. Ideal approach in such patients is uncertain. Anatomic left-sided short aortic bypass from the arcus aorta to descending aorta via median sternotomy allows simultaneuos repair of both complex aortic coarctation and concomitant cardiac operation.
