Hybrid one-stage repair using a sutureless telescoped stent graft fixation for ruptured multiple thoracic aortic...

We report the case of a 58-year-old man who underwent emergency one-stage hybrid repair for multiple thoracic aortic aneurysms involving giant arch and ruptured descending aortic aneurysms. Retrograde thoracic endovascular aortic repair for the ruptured descending aortic aneurysm was first performed to stabilize the hemodynamics. Then, a total arch replacement with an open stent graft, which was inserted into the previous stent graft of the descending aorta in a sutureless telescoped fashion, was performed without any technical problems. This procedure may be one useful therapeutic option for multiple thoracic aortic aneurysms, especially for emergency cases requiring one-stage repair.
