Coarctation of the aorta in the adult complicated by poststenotic fusiform aneurysm
Abstract
We describe a case of adult coarctation of the aorta, which presented unusually as a poststenotic fusiform aneurysm in a 48-year-old female. She was normotensive and had a history of back pain and palpitations. Under partial cardiopulmonary bypass, the stenosis and the aneurysm were resected and replaced with a Dacron tube graft.
