Case report: a novel approach for the emergency repair of acute aortic rupture associated with congenital aortic Coarctation

BACKGROUND: Congenital aortic coarctation (CoA) associated with aortic rupture is a rare but extremely lethal condition. In pregnant patients, the condition becomes very risky. CASE PRESENTATION: We presented a case of a pregnant (20 weeks gestation) patient with CoA associated with ruptured aortic...

Sumario:BACKGROUND: Congenital aortic coarctation (CoA) associated with aortic rupture is a rare but extremely lethal condition. In pregnant patients, the condition becomes very risky. CASE PRESENTATION: We presented a case of a pregnant (20 weeks gestation) patient with CoA associated with ruptured aortic pseudoaneurysm who was successfully rescued using a novel hybrid strategy. CONCLUSIONS: This hybrid approach may be a life-saving bridging intervention in patients with CoA associated with devastating complications, such as ruptured aneurysms, especially with extremely narrowed access.
