Abstract:
A 22-year-old woman with pseudocoarctation of the aorta as a complication of disal arch aortic aneurysm and aberrant right subclavian artery was successfully treated. She was the elder of identical twins, with a past history of spontaneous closure of the ventricular septal defect. Preoperative angiograms suggested pseudocoarctation of the aorta complicated by distal arch aortic aneurysm with aberrant right subclavian artery. At operation, the distal arch was replaced with a 14mm woven dacron graft and the left subclavian artery was reconstructed by interposition of 6mm IMPRA graft between the vessel and ascending aorta. The postoperative angiograms indicated successful reconstructions. Contrast-enhanced CT scans of the younger identical twin showed no anomaly of the thoracic aorta.
