This study reports the first successful three-stage surgical treatment for three isolated aortic aneurysms in a 72-year-old man. The patient recovered well, demonstrating a viable approach for complex aortic aneurysm cases.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Aortic Aneurysm Treatment

Background:

  • Multifocal aortic aneurysms present complex therapeutic challenges.
  • Optimal surgical strategies for multiple aortic aneurysms are debated.
  • This case involves aneurysms in the aortic arch, descending thoracic aorta, and infrarenal abdominal aorta.

Observation:

  • A 72-year-old male patient presented with three distinct aortic aneurysms.
  • An emergency graft replacement was performed for the infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm due to rupture risk.
  • Subsequent staged surgeries addressed the descending thoracic and distal aortic arch aneurysms.

Findings:

  • The patient successfully underwent a three-stage surgical repair of all three aortic aneurysms.

  • The abdominal aortic aneurysm repair was performed emergently, followed by elective repairs of the thoracic and arch aneurysms.
  • The patient remained well 16 months post-discharge, indicating successful treatment outcomes.

    • Implications:

    • This case demonstrates the feasibility of a staged surgical approach for multiple, isolated aortic aneurysms.
    • The findings support a potential strategy for managing complex multifocal aortic disease.
    • Further research and discussion are needed to refine therapeutic principles for such cases.
