Coarctation of the aorta associated with agenesis of left common carotid artery and left subclavian artery

J Thorac Dis. 2016 May;8(5):E334-6. doi: 10.21037/jtd.2016.03.09.

Abstract

We describe the case of a 10-year-old boy with coarctation of the aorta complicated by innominate artery stenosis and agenesis of left common carotid artery and left subclavian artery. The patient was treated with an interposition graft between the ascending and descending aorta. The right subclavian was revascularized with another graft from the interposition graft to the distal right subclavian. This is a rare case of the combination of coarctation of the aorta and other vascular malformations.
