Abstract
Aneurysm development after repair of aortic coarctation is not a rare complication, but it is highly related to hypoplasia of the transverse aortic arch. The optimal management of such cases is not clearly established. We propose a single-stage transmediastinal re-repair using moderate hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass and antegrade selective cerebral perfusion. © 2006 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
