چکیده
A 54-year-old male patient was admitted due to exertional dyspnea and hypertension. The echocardiography indicated severely calcified bicuspid aortic valve stenosis. Unexpectedly, his chest X-ray showed obvious rib notching and typical 3 sign on aortic isthmus (Figure 1). The computed tomography angiography demonstrated coarctation of aorta (CoA) concurrent with hypoplasia of aortic arch distal to left subclavian artery (Figure 2). The coronary artery angiography showed 60% and 70% occlusion within right coronary artery and left anterior descending artery (LAD), respectively. The procedure was done by median sternotomy under cardiopulmonary bypass. Firstly, the thoracic aorta behind pericardium was partially clamped and the end-to-side Dacron graft to thoracic aorta anastomosis was made. The graft was then inserted between inferior vena cava and right inferior pulmonary vein. Secondly, the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) was anastomosed with LAD and the posterior descending artery (PDA) was anastomosed with saphenous vein (SV). Then the heart was arrested and the calcified aortic bicuspid valve was replaced by mechanical valve. After de-airing, the heart was perfused to beat. Finally, the proximal part of the Dacron graft and saphenous vein were end-to-side anastomosed with ascending aorta. Post-operative computed tomography angiography demonstrated satisfactory repairs by posterior pericardial ascending-to-descending aortic bypass and coronary artery bypass (Figure 3). Older patients with CoA are prone to other acquired heart diseases. Complex CoA will pose difficulty for the cardiac surgeon to tackle. Therefore, we aim to provide an effective option to simultaneously treat the complex CoA in order to make the cardiac surgeon aware of this method and improve the survival rates of patients. CoA

Acquired Infrarenal Abdominal Aortic Coarctation: Treatment with Percutaneous Self Expandable Stent
Abdominal aortic coarctation is an extremely rare vascular pathology. Its etiology can be congenital or acquired. Here we present a case of acquired infrarenal abdominal coarctation in a 66-year-old woman who complained of low back and legs pain. She had no signs of resting lower limb ischemia, with diminished distal pulses and normal blood pressure in upper and lower extremities. Magnetic reso...
متن کاملBlood Flow Simulation in an Aorta with a mild coarctation Using Magnetic Resonance Angiography and Finite Volume Method
Coarctation of the aorta is one of the five main congenital cardiovascular failures, accounting for 6–8 percent of these failures. This research aimed to simulate the blood flow of a seventeen-year-old male teen with a mild coarctation at one-third of his aorta's descending branch. The simulation was performed by extracting the domain and the input pulsatile velocity signal as the boundary cond...
متن کاملChanges in vascular reactivity of the coronary artery and thoracic aorta in the delta sarcoglycan null mutant mice
Introduction: Mutations in the delta sarcoglycan gene (d-SG) cause limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2F with structural and functional alterations in cardiac, smooth and skeletal muscle. The objective of the present study was to improve information about changes in vascular reactivity of the thoracic aorta and the coronary artery in the perfused heart of the d-SG-null mutant mouse model. ...

SUMMARY: Coarctation of the aorta is a congenital heart disease consisting 7% of total congenital heart diseases. Its prevalence in men is 2 times more than that in women. This disease is associated with other congenital diseases. including aortic bicuspid valve, the linkage between two ventricles and arteriole channel It is often seen in the Turner syndrome which may lead to complications su...
