Abstract
We treated 2 patients with recurrent coarctation after repair of interrupted aortic arch. Because they had been operated on with the use of vascular prostheses, severe scarring was considered prohibitive for safe dissection. We successfully carried out anatomic repair with the use of retrograde cerebral perfusion through a left thoracotomy in both cases.
