Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2006 Jun;54(4):276-8. doi: 10.1055/s-2005-872858.

Abstract

We present a 63-year-old patient with aortic valve stenosis, ascending aorta aneurysm, aortic coarctation as well as atherosclerotic, elongated, and stenosed aortic arch. Surgical treatment consisted of a complete ascending aorta replacement with a valved composite graft and complete replacement of the aortic arch including the isthmus, and was performed simultaneously through median sternotomy.
