Alivio inmediato de la insuficiencia cardíaca en la coartación de la aorta posterior a la aortoplastía con stent, y mejoría absoluta, posterior a la operación de Bentall y de Bono. (Presentación de un caso) / Extreme aortic coarctaction, severe aortic regurgitation and heart failure relieved immediately after stent aortoplasty, and complete resolution through Bental/de Bono surgical repair
When aneurysm of the root of aorta, bicuspidaorta valve and coarctation coexist, surgical repair involves technical problems. We present the case of a patient in whom initial correction of the coarctation was made by means of interventional treatment, with an impressive and practically immediate resolution of heart failure. In a second intervartional, the aortic rootpathology was corrected through the Bentall and de Bono's surgical technique. We present the short- and mid-term results. In addition this case demostrates the little well-know fact, that the patients with bicuspidaorta also have cystic media degeneration of the wall of the aorta.
