[A case report of one-staged surgery for annuloaortic ectasia associated with atypical coarctation of the aorta].
A 33-year-old man admitted to our hospital with an episode of chest discomfort and dyspnea. UCG, CT, MRI and DSA disclosed an annuloaortic ectasia with grade 3 aortic regurgitation and atypical coarctation of the aorta. Cabrol operation was performed with simultaneous graft bypass using a woven Dacron prosthesis between the ascending aorta and the abdominal aorta. The course of the bypass graft was arranged to pass behind the rectal muscle without laparotomy and major collateral vessels of the thorax could been kept without thoracotomy. There are only 10 reported cases of annuloaortic ectasia associated with atypical coarctation of the aorta in Japan. This is the second successful case report of one-stage surgery to the complicated cardiovascular disease.
