[A case report of total aortic arch replacement for distal aortic arch aneurysm in an octogenarian].

Abstract

A 81-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of hoarseness. Chest CT scan and aortogram showed distal arch aneurysm measuring 7.5 cm in diameter. Under deep hypothermia and selective cerebral perfusion, the distal aortic arch aneurysm was completely replaced with a woven Dacron graft with three limbs for the arch vessels. After the aortic cross clamp was released, severe low output syndrome (LOS) continued because of perioperative myocardial infarction. Then, a coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) to the left anterior descending artery (LAD) was performed, after which the cardiopulmonary bypass was easily weaned under intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP) assistance. The postoperative course was uneventful. The perioperative myocardial infarction was thought to be induced by left coronary spasm, as comparison of the preoperative and postoperative coronary arteriograms showed no change.
