Extra‐anatomic bypass grafts have been used to treat complex and recurrent forms of coarctation of the aorta. Here we describe the use of an extra‐anatomic bypass graft from the ascending to supraceliac aorta to treat an unusual complication of compression of mediastinal structures caused by a bucket handle graft.
