Figure 1. Panels A&B, the transthoracic echocardiography
revealed a bicuspid aortic valve, moderate aortic valve regurgitation
(arrow), coarctation of the aorta, and a huge aortic arch aneurysm in
close proximity to the left common carotid artery. Panels C&D, computed
tomography and three-dimensional reconstruction demonstrated that the
left subclavian artery was originated from and deformed by the aneurysm.
Panels E&F, Dacron graft (asterisk) was used to anastomose to the
thoracic descending aorta in an end-to-side fashion, the other end of
the Dacron graft was anastomosed to the graft in Bentall procedure. (LV,
left ventricle; LA, left atrium; CoA, coarctation of aorta; Aneu,
aneurysm; AA, ascending aorta; DA, descending aorta; BPG, bypass graft.)
