Description
A narrowed aorta rarely travels alone. One adult patient carried three faults at once: a coarctation, a seven centimeter aneurysm just before it, and a right arm artery branching from the wrong side. Mouhammad Kanj and two co-authors repaired all three in a single operation in 2024. The aneurysm also swallowed the origin of the left arm artery.
The team first bypassed the stray right artery from the neck, then replaced the swollen aorta segment and replanted the left artery into it. Partial heart lung support kept the body supplied during the work. The authors present the case as proof that one stage can fix the whole cluster. Staging the repairs would have meant a second major operation.
