Sumario:We describe an adolescent with long-standing atresia of the head/neck arteries and severe aortic coarctation. Because of progressive symptoms, a series of interventions was undertaken to provide direct aorta–to–carotid artery flow and coarctation treatment. This case highlights the unusual physiological features associated with atresia of all head and neck arteries. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
