This case study details a successful surgical repair of severe coarctation of the aorta and a distal aneurysm in a teenage girl. The procedure ensured normal blood pressure and minimal residual gradient post-operation.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Pediatric Cardiology
  • Aortic Diseases

Background:

  • Coarctation of the aorta is a congenital narrowing of the aorta, often presenting with hypertension.
  • Aneurysms distal to coarctation are rare but serious complications.
  • Surgical intervention is typically required for severe cases.

Observation:

  • A 16-year-old female presented with symptoms secondary to severe aortic coarctation.
  • Aortography revealed not only the coarctation but also a large aneurysm downstream.
  • The patient underwent surgical resection of both the coarctation and the aneurysm.

Findings:

  • The surgical repair involved interposition of a bovine pericardium tube graft for anastomosis.
  • Post-operative follow-up at two months showed normalized blood pressure.

  • Doppler-echocardiography detected a minimal 10 mm/Hg gradient, indicating successful repair.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the successful management of a complex aortic anomaly combining coarctation and aneurysm.
    • Bovine pericardium grafts are a viable option for aortic reconstruction in pediatric cases.
    • Effective surgical correction can lead to long-term positive outcomes for patients with complex congenital heart defects.
