Single stage repair of a complex pathology: end stage ischaemic cardiomyopathy, ascending aortic aneurysm and thoracic coarctation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The not uncommon combination of ascending aortic pathology with late presenting coarctation is a difficult surgical challenge. The two stage approach is usually adopted. The necessity for cardiac transplantation adds to the complexity: a trans-sternal approach and single stage repair become mandatory.

single-stage or a two-stage procedure using hybrid techniques. Aortic valve replacement 2 weeks after stent implantation to the coarctation has been reported [21]. This technique necessitates an additional general anaesthetic procedure and lengthens the hospital stay. We performed a hybrid technique in three patients with coarctation and accompanying cardiac lesions. After stent deployment, we ...

Coarctation of the aorta is a common congenital defect that may be undiagnosed until adulthood. Moreover, coarctation is associated with congenital and acquired cardiac pathology that may require surgical intervention. The management of an adult patient with aortic coarctation and an associated cardiac defect poses a great technical challenge since there are no standard guidelines for the thera...
متن کاملOne-stage surgical approach to coarctation of the aorta and ascending aortic aneurysm.
BACKGROUND Aortic coarctation in adults is sometimes associated with concomitant cardiovascular pathologies which require intervention. The optimal operative approach for such patients remains unsettled. An extra-anatomic aortic bypass from the ascending aorta to the descending aorta via median sternotomy allows simultaneous performance of repair of complex aortic coarctation and concomitant ca...
متن کاملTwo stage hybrid approach for complex aortic coarctation repair
BACKGROUND Management of an adult patient with aortic coarctation and an associated cardiac pathology poses a great surgical challenge since there are no standard guidelines for the therapy of such complex pathology. Debate exists not only on which lesion should be corrected first, but also upon the type and timing of the procedure. Surgery can be one- or two-staged. Both of these strategies ar...

Introduction Combination of acute aortic dissection associated with aortic coarctation in pediatric population is extremely rare. We are presenting a 12-year-old patient with these two conditions who was successfully treated with two-stage surgery. Case Outline A boy with no trauma history was admitted for chest pain. The diagnosis of acute aortic dissection associated with aortic coarctation w...
