    Abstract:
    Coarctation of the aorta is rare. We present a case of atypical coarctation due to aortitis syndrome with congestive heart failure refractory to conventional medical treatment. Although indications for surgical treatment are not well established and, in general, treatment of choice is an aorto-aortic bypass, we selected axillo-iliac bypass with subcutaneous tunnel because of severe heart failure. Postoperatively, the pressure gradient disappeared and heart failure was improved.
