Abstract

Today the aortic coarctation is considered one of the relatively most frequent congenital defects of the cardiovascular system, occuring with a frequency of 3 cases per 10,000 newborns. Despite fairly good results of radical correction, adverse long-term consequences may occur, such as persistent hypertension, recoarctation, aortic aneurysm, its dissection or even rupture. In this clinical case, a successful correction of a sac-shaped aneurysm of the aorta in adolescence was demonstrated after removal of the aortic coarctation together with bicuspid aortic valve replacement due to the combined valve disease with advantage of insufficiency.
