説明
Various surgical techniques for recurrent atypical coarctation have been described, and extra-anatomic bypass with a thoracotomy or a sternotomy approach has been widely recommended. We report a case where axillofemoral bypass has been used to treat a 28-year-old woman with recurrent atypical coarctation. Ordinarily, she had not suffered greatly from hypertension, but she experienced repeated miscarriages most probably owing to uncontrolled hypertension over 200 mmHg during pregnancy. We chose an axillofemoral bypass for extra-anatomic bypass to manage intractable hypertension during pregnancy. Postoperatively, her hemodynamics improved substantially, particularly during pregnancy, and two children were successfully delivered. The patient remains in excellent condition 74 months after operation. We suggest that an axillofemoral bypass will become an option among surgical techniques for recurrent coarctation under individual circumstances.
