Ann Thorac Surg. 1994 Jul;58(1):241-3. doi: 10.1016/0003-4975(94)91115-0.

Abstract

Acute aortic dissection associated with significant coarctation of the aorta is a difficult problem to manage operatively. A patient is presented who had both a bypass graft from the ascending aorta to the abdominal aorta and insertion of a composite valve graft in one operation to solve the problem.
