J Card Surg. 2004 Jul-Aug;19(4):343-5. doi: 10.1111/j.0886-0440.2004.4093_11.x.

Abstract

Extra-anatomic bypass grafts have been used to treat complex and recurrent forms of coarctation of the aorta. Here we describe the use of an extra-anatomic bypass graft from the ascending to supraceliac aorta to treat an unusual complication of compression of mediastinal structures caused by a bucket handle graft.
