Extra ‐anatomic aortic bypass with aortic‐, mitral‐, and tricuspid surgery in a 53‐year old: A single‐stage approach for complex coarctation associated with triple valve pathology

AbstractCoarctation is rare in patients over 50 years of age; however, if present, it can be associated with complex intracardiac pathologies and represent a formidable surgical challenge. Herein, we report a single ‐stage approach for surgical repair of coarctation associated with aortic, mitral, and tricuspid valve pathology using an ascending‐to‐descending aortic bypass with posterior pericardial access.
