Abstract |
A 44 year old man who presented with a history of chest pain and dyspnoea was found to have an aneurysm of the aortic root, aortic valve insufficiency, and coarctation of the aorta. The patient underwent a single stage procedure to treat the aortic root, valve and coarctation with a composite valved conduit and extra-anatomic bypass of the coarctation. The modified Cabrol technique was necessary to attach the coronary buttons due to grossly abnormal anatomy. The patient made a remarkable recovery and was discharged on the 8th post-operative day. This case report highlights the feasibility and efficacy of performing a single stage procedure on complex coarctation with associated cardiac defects. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the modified Cabrol technique being used in this particular setting. |
