Surgical management of coarctation of the aorta is usually undertaken in childhood. This condition is encountered rarely in adults. An option for managing complicated coarctation of the aorta or coarctation combined with cardiac surgery is to establish extra-anatomical bypass from sternotomy. The authors report two cases of bypass from the ascending to descending aortas to manage coarctation of the aorta. The procedure was successful, with no complications in both cases.

Keywords: Coarctation of the aorta; Extra-anatomical bypass
