Extra Anatomical Bypass for Calcified Coarctation of Aorta in 58 Year old Individual - A Case Report

Abstract

The surgical management of adult coarctation of aorta is quite challenging. Endovascular intervention has limited role in adult calcified coarctation of aorta. Various surgical options are available for management. We are reporting a 58 year old intractable hypertensive male with calcified coarctation of aorta who underwent an Extra Anatomical Bypass using 20mm Integard Woven Dacron graft from left subclavian artery to descending thoracic aorta. He had an uneventful postoperative period with a small gradient across the conduit.
