Aortic recoarctation may be difficult to manage, especially in patients with the need for additional surgical interventions. We describe the case of a 45-year-old man with grown-up congenital heart disease, presenting with recoarctation after initial anatomic repair with a prosthetic graft at the age of 16 years. Further examination revealed heart failure and left ventricular dilation because of severe aortic regurgitation, owing to a bicuspid aortic valve. Through a median sternotomy and CPB, an aortic valve replacement and extra-anatomic ascending-to-descending aortic-bypass-grafting was performed with a posterior pericardial approach. Off-pump coronary artery bypass techniques were applied to reach the descending aorta.

D001017 Aortic Coarctation A birth defect characterized by the narrowing of the AORTA that can be of varying degree and at any point from the transverse arch to the iliac bifurcation. Aortic coarctation causes arterial HYPERTENSION before the point of narrowing and arterial HYPOTENSION beyond the narrowed portion.

D001022 Aortic Valve Insufficiency Pathological condition characterized by the backflow of blood from the ASCENDING AORTA back into the LEFT VENTRICLE, leading to regurgitation. It is caused by diseases of the AORTIC VALVE or its surrounding tissue (aortic root).
