Coarctation of the aorta is defined as a narrowing of the upper thoracic aorta. To repair this defect, the aorta is clamped on either side of the narrowing, the segment of narrowing is removed, and the two ends of the aorta are sewn together (end to end anastomosis).

Coarctation of the descending thoracic aorta or of the abdominal aorta is also called "middle aortic syndrome" or "mid-aortic dysplastic syndrome". Major arterial branches and visceral arteries (renal, superior mesenteric or hepatic arteries) may be involved.

Various surgical techniques for recurrent atypical coarctation have been described, and extra-anatomic bypass with a thoracotomy or a sternotomy approach has been widely recommended. We report a case where axillofemoral bypass has been used to treat a 28-year-old woman with recurrent atypical coarctation.
