Fig 1 Preoperative anatomy, posterior view. Ascending (A) and right descending (D) aorta are visible. The first branch of the ascending aorta is the left common carotid artery (white arrow). Coarctation (*) is notable at the isthmus, just proximal to a Kommerell’s diverticulum (K) from which an aberrant left subclavian artery (red arrow) arises. The isthmus and proximal descending aorta are hypoplastic.
