Abstract:
A rare case of chronic localized thoracoabdominal aortic dissecting aneurysm was surgically treated. The patient was a 76-year-old woman. She was reffered to our hospital because of the abnormality of the chest roentogenogram. Chest CT and aortography revealed localized thoracoabdominal dissecting aneurysm 70 mm in diameter. Patch closure of intimal tear was carried out under partial cardiopulmonary femoro-femoral bypass. The patient discharged on the 23rd post operative day without any complications.
