[The graft replacement of the patient with aortic arch aneurysm and thrombosed aortic dissection].

Abstract

The patient was male and aged 68 years and complained of dyspnea and chest pain. He was pointed out aortic arch dilatation on chest X-ray and CT demonstrated aortic arch aneurysm accompanied with acute type IIIb aortic dissection. One month later after anti-hypertensive therapy, the false lumen of aortic dissection was closed with thrombus. While we performed the graft replacement to the aortic arch aneurysm, the thrombosed false lumen was recanalized, so it needed the closure of the false lumen reinforced with teflon felt. Postoperative angiography showed no abnormality of anastomosis and complete occlusion of the false lumen.
