Repair of coarctation of the aorta with simultaneous coronary artery bypass grafting without cardiopulmonary bypass.

The article describes the management of aortic coarctation associated with coronary artery disease by a one stage surgical procedure without cardiopulmonary bypass in a 44-year-old woman. The vascular prosthesis was anastomosed end-to-end to the descending aorta and a venous bypass was subsequently formed between circumflex coronary artery and the anastomosed vascular prosthesis. There were no postoperative complications.
