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.
