  • Title: Antegrade endovascular repair of a coarctation-associated aneurysm through an upper hemi-sternotomy.
    Author: DeRose JJ, Martin EC, Ashton RC, Belsley S, Swistel DG, Todd GJ.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2004 Aug; 78(2):e28-9. PubMed ID: 15276585.
    Abstract:
    Late aneurysm formation is a well-described complication after surgical correction of aortic coarctation. Endovascular repair of such aneurysms avoids the morbidity of conventional reoperative thoracic surgery. We describe a unique case of antegrade endovascular repair of a distal coarctation-associated aneurysm with vascular access acquired through the aortic arch by an upper hemi-sternotomy.
