title: [Fatal complication of a combined coarctation of the aortic arch and isthmus with anomalies of the aortic valve (author's transl)].
abstract: It is reported on a combined coarctation of the aortic arch and isthmus with anomalies of the aortic valve and an aortic sinus aneurysm in case of a 17-year-old woman died of rupture of ascending aorta. By means of histological investigations of aortic tissue taken from aortic coarctation and other areas of aorta it is tried to give a pathognomonic declaration of these anomalies. Findings are allocated to classifications for coarctation of the aorta. Moreover, the pathological findings are subject for comparison with analogous cases mentioned in literature, especially with regard to their frequency, origin, complications, and the age reached.
