Abstract
Coarctation of the aorta is a congenital constriction of the aorta of varying degree usually located slightly distal to the origin of the left subclavian artery. This congenital malformation is found at 5-9% of the congenital heart disease in Europe & North America, but in our country, it is reported as one of rare malformations. We present a case of coarctation of the aorta, which had double diaphragms as discrete form. This is 9 year-old boy, who has suffered from hypertensive symptoms since 6 years before. Coarctation of the aorta was confirmed by aortography, and there was no combined anomalies, and it was postductal type, and coarctations were consisted of two diaphragmatic webs at the both ends with a central aneurysmized. After resection of the coarctated segment completely, Woven Dacron graft was inserted with 18mm in diameter & 2.5cm in length successfully.
