  • Title: Single-stage repair of aneurysm of the ascending aorta associated with aortic coarctation.
    Author: Attaran S, Felderhoff J, Westwood MA, Awad WI.
    Journal: Heart Surg Forum; 2010 Aug; 13(4):E265-6. PubMed ID: 20719734.
    Abstract:
    A 38-year-old man with a history of uncontrolled hypertension was investigated for atypical chest pains and found to have an aneurysm of the ascending aorta and a coexisting coarctation of the aorta. The timing and sequence of surgical repair of these 2 pathologies are controversial. We report an elective single-stage operation in which the ascending aorta was replaced and an extracardiac bypass from the ascending to the descending aorta was performed with excellent results.
