Repair of aortic coarctation is usually an easy operation. However, it can
be very difficult under certain circumstances. These include operating on
an adult or operating when specific anatomical variations, such as
hypoplasia of the transverse aortic arch or calcification of the
coarctation area, are present. We recommend that in such cases the
situation be handled using ascending aorta-lower abdominal aorta bypass
grafts rather than conventional resection and anastomosis of the
coarctation itself. The cases of 2 patients are presented in whom a
hypoplastic aortic arch associated with atypical coarctation was repaired
using such a procedure.
