Abstract
The presentation of simultaneous severe coarctation of the descending aorta and severe aortic valve disease is uncommon. We describe the management of simultaneous association of aortic coarctation, aortic valve disease, and ischemic cardiomyopathy and describe a one-stage surgical approach for the correction of all pathologies. After performing the aortic valve replacement and myocardial revascularization, coarctation was solved by means of a prosthesis between the ascending aorta and the abdominal aorta. There were no evidence of myocardial ischemia during exercise testing and the blood pressure is normal.Entities:
