Late dissecting aneurysm as a complication of postcoarctation repair in a patient with bovine arch anomaly

Abstract

Coarctation of the thoracic aorta is a frequently seen condition and may cause late anastomotic complications after surgical repair, which often necessitates urgent treatment. Endovascular treatment methods in this group seem to be life-saving due to high mortality and morbidity rates of conventional open surgical repair. Postcoarction repair and bovine arch anomaly are also complicating factors and may cause additional morbidity. [Turk J Vasc Surg 2019; 28(2.000): 110-2]
