Abstract:
We report a case of a 57-year-old female with dextrocardia and a solitary kidney. A patch aortoplasty for isthmic aortic coarctation repair was performed 40 years before when she was admitted to our department for dyspnea. Computed tomography scan showed a giant and saccular 10-cm diameter patch false aneurysm. The ascending aortic diameter was 34 mm and the echocardiography confirmed a severe aortic regurgitation of a bicuspid aortic valve. We decided to perform a 2-step approach: biologic aortic valve and ascending aorta replacement with total debranching of the epiaortic vessels and thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair for complete false aneurysm exclusion.
