SANCHEZ-AMAYA, David Jacobo et al. Coarctation of the aorta associated with bicuspid aortic valve complicated by aortic aneurysm dissection. Cardiovasc. metab. sci [online]. 2023, vol.34, n.4, pp.159-164. Epub 15-Abr-2024. ISSN 2954-3835. https://doi.org/10.35366/113864.
Coarctation of the aorta is a congenital disorder that affects not only the aorta but also might be associated with bicuspid aortic valve disease and predisposes to aortic syndromes. We report the case of a 28-year-old patient with secondary hypertension due to post-ductal aortic coarctation associated with a complicated bicuspid aortic valve and chronic dissection of the ascending aorta. The coexistence of aortic valve disease, as well as multiple aortic conditions is a rare situation that requires highly specialized evaluation to ensure a favorable outcome. Treatment was established in two phases: aortoplasty with stent placement and then aortic and valvular replacement surgery, with a favorable recovery.
