title: Surgical repair of the aortic coarctation combined with complete replacement of the ascending aorta and aortic arch.
abstract: We present a 63-year-old patient with aortic valve stenosis, ascending aorta aneurysm, aortic coarctation as well as atherosclerotic, elongated, and stenosed aortic arch. Surgical treatment consisted of a complete ascending aorta replacement with a valved composite graft and complete replacement of the aortic arch including the isthmus, and was performed simultaneously through median sternotomy.
