Figures
Figure 1. Panels A&B, the transthoracic echocardiography revealed a bicuspid aortic valve, moderate aortic valve regurgitation (arrow), coarctation of the aorta, and a huge aortic arch aneurysm in close proximity to the left common carotid artery. Panels C&D, computed tomography and three-dimensional reconstruction demonstrated that the left subclavian artery was originated from and deformed by the aneurysm. Panels E&F, Dacron graft (asterisk) was used to anastomose to the thoracic descending aorta in an end-to-side fashion, the other end of the Dacron graft was anastomosed to the graft in Bentall procedure. (LV, left ventricle; LA, left atrium; CoA, coarctation of aorta; Aneu, aneurysm; AA, ascending aorta; DA, descending aorta; BPG, bypass graft.)
