  • Title: [Extraanatomical bypass grafting for a coarctation of the aorta in the adult: report of a case].
    Author: Hioki I, Tarukawa T, Katayama Y, Hayashi T.
    Journal: Kyobu Geka; 2005 Jun; 58(6):491-4. PubMed ID: 15957425.
    Abstract:
    A 49-year-old man with a successful bypass grafting for coarctation of the aorta is presented. He has been suffering from hypertension since his 30s. Angiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed the stenosis of distal aortic arch and developed collateral circulation. After left thoracotomy, bypass grafting using a 16 mm woven Dacron graft was placed between the left subclavian artery and the descending aorta. He had a satisfactory postoperative course with no residual pressure gradient. We recommend this procedure to be a safe and minimally invasive technique that can avoid injury to the collateral.
