대동맥궁 동맥류1 치험례

Aneurysm of the Aorta is a grave disease mostly producing disabling symptoms and ultimate death by rupture and hemorrhage without surgical intervention. Aneurysm of the thoracic aorta is more common in arteriosclerosis than syphilitic origin,since the incidence of cardiovascular syphilis has been reduced significantly in recent decades and the life span of population has increase. We have experienced a case of luetic aneurysm of aortic arch without pulse in tile left arm which was succesfully treated by surgical intervention.
