Extraanatomic Ascending-to-Descending Aorta Bypass Graft for Atypical Coarctation: A case report / 대한흉부외과학회지

ABSTRACT

Under median sternotomy and left thoracotomy, extra-anatomic aorta bypass between ascending aorta and descending thoracic aorta without cardiopulmonary bypass support has been done effectively and easily without complications for a selected case of atypical coarctation associated with hypoplasia of aortic arch. It should be considered as an alternative operative technique for complex aortic arch reconstruction.
