Aneurysmal ascending to descending aorta bypass graft compressing the pulmonary artery.
We describe the first case of aneurysmal degeneration of ascending to descending aortic bypass graft with compression of main pulmonary artery in a young patient who had prior history of interrupted aortic arch. We also outline the value of multimodality imaging in the surgical management of this condition.
