title: A novel approach for hybrid repair of type B aortic dissection associated with coarctation of the aorta.
abstract: We report the case of an acute type B aortic dissection in association with an unknown isthmic coarctation in a 53-year-old man. An intimal tear was located just distal to the coarctation, and the intimal flap extended to the level of the renal arteries. Hybrid repair was performed successfully 4 months later, without deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. An extra-anatomic bypass connected the ascending aorta to the abdominal aorta. The coarctation was occluded using a ventricular septal defect occluder. The hybrid repair was safe and effective for the patient.
