Abstract:
A case of coarctation of the abdominal aorta associated with multiple stenotic renal arteries is reported. The patient was operated upon with successful thoraco-abdominal aortic bypass and direct reimplantation of 3 renal arteries on the graft. Surgical techniques for treatment of coarctation are discussed.
