ABSTRACT
Bypass grafting from the ascending thoracic aorta to the common iliac artery was performed to manage proximal hypertension in a patient with atypical coarctation of the thoracic aorta. The patient's history was significant for an acute aortic thrombosis at the level of the diaphragm for which she underwent an axillo-bifemoral bypass grafting as an emergency operation. Although she was doing well following the initial bypass grafting, the second bypass grafting was required to treat proximal hypertension refractory to medical management. The axillo-femoral bypass graft had a smaller diameter and a longer subcutaneous distance, and the blood supply to the abdominal viscera may have been insufficient. The proximal hypertension was well controlled following ascending thoracic aorta to common iliac bypass, because the diameter (16mm) of the graft is larger than that of the axillo-bifemoral bypass graft (8mm).
