Abstract
We present herein the case of a 39-year-old man found to have signific ant coarctation of the preductal aorta combined with a type B dissecti on, associated with Marfan's syndrome. This extremely rare pathologica l combination could be defined preoperatively only by a three-dimensio nal computed tomography scan. By means of selective cerebral perfusion , the coarctation was resected, and the total aortic arch mas replaced with a Dacron graft.
