Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2013 Jun;61(4):340-2. doi: 10.1055/s-0033-1333845. Epub 2013 Mar 8.

Abstract

A 25-year-old man presented with associated bicuspid aortic valve and coarctation of the aorta. Following aortic valve replacement, he underwent endovascular stenting of his native coarctation. We describe early failure of the latter procedure that necessitated definitive surgical correction.
