Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg. 2009 Oct;9(4):730-2. doi: 10.1510/icvts.2009.205179. Epub 2009 Jul 24.

Abstract

We describe the first case of aneurysmal degeneration of ascending to descending aortic bypass graft with compression of main pulmonary artery in a young patient who had prior history of interrupted aortic arch. We also outline the value of multimodality imaging in the surgical management of this condition.
