Abstract： Objective To investigate the clinical results of offpump anatomic surgical repair for complex coarctation in adults. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 7 patients with complex coarctation who underwent onestage anatomic surgical repair between January 2005 and December 2008 in Fu Wai Hospital. There were 5 males and 2 females with the age ranged from 16 to 41 years, average at 24.4 years. Among all the patients, there were 2 patients of coarctation with hypoplastic aortic arch, 1 of coarctation with aortic arch aneurysm, 3 of coarctation with descending thoracic aortic aneurysm, and 1 of coarctation with B type aortic dissection. All patients were diagnosed by color echocardiography, CT or agnetic resonance imaging（MRI）. All off-pump operations were performed under general anesthesia and ambient temperature. Median sternotomy was performed in 1 patient and left thoracotomy in 6 patients. Aortic arch patching enlargement was performed in 4 patients and descending thoracic aorta replacement in 3 patients (including 1 combined with abdominal aorta replacement and 1 case of Stanford B type aortic dissection, trunk stent was transplanted at the same time). Results There was no hospital mortality or severe surgical complications. Seven patients were followed up for a period ranged from 6 to 49 months with an average time of 20.1 months. No late death or recoarctation occurred. Hoarseness occurred in one patient and presented no improvement during the 11 months follow-up. Conclusion Onestage offpump anatomic surgical repair is safe and feasible in treating adult patients with complex coarctation, and it shows a good immediate and longterm result.
