Abstract:
We performed three cases of extraanatomic bypass graft for treating adult coarctation. Two cases of left subclavian artery to descending aorta bypass graft were done via left thoracotomy for treating 2 patients who had extensive aortic occlusive disease. One case of ascending aorta to descending aorta bypass graft and aortic valve replacement was done via median sternotomy for a patient who had combined arch hypoplasia and aortic valve regurgitation. One patient was reoperated on for aneurysm rupture of an anastomosis site four months after the first operation and two patients have had no specific problems during and after their operations.
