  • Title: [Co-existence of severe aortic valve stenosis and recoarctation of the aorta treated surgically in childhood].

    Abstract:
    Coarctation of the aorta is treated surgically in most of patients during childhood. However, some of them experience recoarctation in future. A 57 year-old woman suffering from chest pain and decreased activity tolerance was admitted to the cardiac department. Physical examinations, lab tests and cardiovascular imaging revealed severe aortic valve stenosis and insignificant narrowing of the aorta. The patient underwent a surgical replacement of the aortic valve without recoarctation repair.
