Abstract

Aneurysm of the ascending aorta with coarctation of the aorta is a rare find in the literature. We report a case of a huge ascending aorta aneurysm in a patient of Marfan’s syndrome and associated coarctation of the aorta. The patient underwent staged procedure in the form of balloon dilatation for the coarctation of the aorta and a successful Bentall procedure for the aneurysm of the aorta with a brief period of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA). Two-staged approach is the ideal management for such cases amenable for endovascular repair.
