Abstract
|
|
|
Pseudocoarctation is extremely rare and is due to elongation and kinking of aortic arch which mimiks true coarctation but has no pressure gradient across it. This state is essentially benign entity and needs no surgical intervention, but it
frequently
tends to progress into the aortic aneurysm that results in compressive symptom due to mass effect and unawared rupture and death.
We experienced an descending aortic aneurysm secondary to pseudocoarctation. The patients was 53year-old female presented as easy fatiguability and facial flushing. The aortogram revealed tortuous and enlarged aorta at the level of ligamentum
arteriosum. The aneurysm was resected and was end-toend anastomosed successfully under partial cardiopulmonary bypass. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged on post-operative 10 day. (Korean J Thoracic Cardiovas
