One-stage repair of an aortic dissection and aortic coarctation.
Ascending aortic dissection with aortic coarctation has a high mortality. There are few reports of successful surgical management of the combined condition. We report a case of a successful one-stage repair of type A aortic dissection with aortic coarctation, using an extra-anatomic bypass to connect the ascending to the abdominal aorta.
