Abstract
Rarely, the initial presentation of aortic coarctation, a congenital anomaly, occurs in adults. Surgical repair is indicated for symptomatic patients. We report the case of a 68-year-old woman who underwent successful surgical repair of the infantile (preductal) type of aortic coarctation with use of an interposition graft.Entities:
