title: Compression of mediastinal structures treated by extra-anatomic bypass grafting.
abstract: Extra-anatomic bypass grafts have been used to treat complex and recurrent forms of coarctation of the aorta. Here we describe the use of an extra-anatomic bypass graft from the ascending to supraceliac aorta to treat an unusual complication of compression of mediastinal structures caused by a bucket handle graft.
