Aortic valvular insufficiency and postductal aortic coarctation in the adult. Combined surgical management through median sternotomy: a new surgical approach

R Vijayanagar, P Natarajan, PF Eckstein, DA Bognolo and JC Toole

A new surgical technique for the relief of aortic coarctation and replacement of the aortic valve has been described. In our patient, aortic valve replacement was combined with a bypass graft from the ascending aorta to the retrocardiac descending thoracic aorta. The clinical findings and the technical details form the basis of this report.
