Abstract
- Interrenal and suprarenal coarctation of the abdominal aorta are usually operated on through the thoracoabdominal approach. We describe here a case of the transpleural retroperitoneal approach for thoracoabdominal aortic bypass graft avoiding the need for a laparotomy. This approach provides an excellent exposure of thoracoabdominal aorta, and it is easier to perform thoracoabdominal bypass graft than entering the peritoneum. It leaves the abdominal cavity free.
