  • Title: [Aortic coarctation with bilateral aneurysms of the subclavian arteries: surgical treatment].
    Author: de Mozzi P, Bortolotti U, Fracasso A, Livi U, Gallucci V.
    Journal: Chir Ital; 1981 Jun; 33(3):635-8. PubMed ID: 7307204.
    Abstract:
    The natural history of untreated coarctation of the aorta may be complicated by dissection or aneurysms of the ascending as well as of the descending thoracic aorta distal to the coarctation. We report a case of coarctation of the aorta in a young man associated to bilateral aneurysms of the subclavian arteries, one of which of great size. In a review of the most recent and largest series of adult patients undergoing surgery for aortic coarctation we were unable to find a similar case. In such a condition complete repair may be accomplished quite safely, preferably employing a multi-stage technique.
