  • Title: Aneurysms after coarctation repair associated with hypoplastic aortic arch: surgical management through median sternotomy.
    Author: Pacini D, Bergonzini M, Loforte A, Gargiulo G, Pilato E, Di Bartolomeo R.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2006 Feb; 81(2):758-60. PubMed ID: 16427903.
    Abstract:
    Aneurysm development after repair of aortic coarctation is not a rare complication, but it is highly related to hypoplasia of the transverse aortic arch. The optimal management of such cases is not clearly established. We propose a single-stage transmediastinal re-repair using moderate hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass and antegrade selective cerebral perfusion.
