Successful Two-Stage Treatment for Coarctation of the Aorta-postductal Type and Aortic Regurgitation with Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair and Aortic Valve Replacement
We herein report a case of a 20-year-old man with aortic regurgitation (AR), coarctation of the aorta (CoA), and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). The preoperative ankle–brachial pressure index was 0.56 in bilateral extremities. Enhanced computed tomography revealed CoA-postductal type. We decided to perform a two-stage surgery: thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for CoA and PDA and then open surgery for AR. TEVAR was successfully performed with deployment of the stent graft at a 31-mm diameter subsequent to balloon dilation. At 8 days after TEVAR, the patient underwent aortic valve replacement via median sternotomy and was discharged without a complication.
