Key Words: Aortic coarctation

A 71-year-old woman with isthmic aortic coarctation underwent aortic valve replacement and coronary bypass. Before aortic clamping, end-to-side anastomosis to descending aorta was performed. After cardiac surgery, the graft was directed posterior to the inferior vena cava and anastomosed to the ascending aorta by using a side-biting clamp (Fig. 1 ).
