Abstract
We present a 63-year-old patient with aortic valve stenosis, ascending aorta aneurysm, aortic coarctation as well as atherosclerotic, elongated, and stenosed aortic arch. Surgical treatment consisted of a complete ascending aorta replacement with a valved composite graft and complete replacement of the aortic arch including the isthmus, and was performed simultaneously through median sternotomy.
Key words
Coarctation - aortic aneurysm - aortic arch - surgery
