We report the case of a 21-year-old woman who was referred with uncontrolled hypertension. Computed tomography angiography revealed aortic arch hypoplasia and severe aortic coarctation. An off-pump ascending-to-descending aortic bypass surgery using synthetic graft was performed via left anterolateral thoracotomy. The patient recovered well and was discharged home uneventfully after five days. This procedure was performed without touching the head vessels or any collateral vessels. We consider this a safe and less invasive alternative technique for adult coarctation patients who have aortic hypoplasia or interrupted aorta.
