Stenosis of the upper body arteries in association with coarctation and interrupted aortic arch.
Coarctation of the aorta and interrupted aortic arch are not usually associated with stenosis of the innominate, common carotid, or subclavian arteries. We report two patients with stenoses of combinations of these arteries, one in association with coarctation (stented later in life) and the other in association with interrupted arch (arterial stenoses surgically repaired at the time of surgery for the arch proper). Both have done well.
