Abstract
We presented a multimodal imaging approach to identifying aortic arch
aneurysm with a concurrent coarctation of the aorta in a 52-year-old
woman. We successfully adopted a new operative method and described the
management of whole process. The detailed imaging and intraoperative
data have not been reported in the literature before. This case
highlighted the feasibility and successful surgical intervention in a
patient with coarctation of the aorta and a concurrent enormous aortic
arch aneurysm. An extra-anatomical bypass is an innovative surgical
technique that is proved effective and beneficial.
