Abstract

Some extensive thoracic aortic aneurysms are not amenable to staged repair, such as extremely large distal aortic aneurysms that are unsuitable for an elephant trunk anastomosis, or aneurysms that are accompanied by complications such as ruptured descending thoracic aneurysm. We report here a case of successful replacement of the aorta from the ascending to the descending aorta in one operation. The patient was 65-year-old man who had an aneurysm which involved the entire thoracic aorta and ruptured in the descending aorta. The operation was performed via transverse thoracosternotomy, and under the deep hypothermic circulatory arrest with retrograde cerebral perfusion. The patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged without any neurologic complications.

원위부 대동맥궁류가 과도하게 커서 elephant trunk 술식을 적용하기 어려운 경우나 하행 대동맥류가 파열된 경우와 같은 합병증이 동반된, 전 흉부 대동맥을 침범하는 광범위 대동맥류에 있어서는 단계적 수술이 불가능하다. 저자들은 상행 대동맥에서부터 하행 대동맥까지의 대동맥을 동시에 치환하는 수술을 성공적으로 시행하였다. 환자는 65세 남자로서 하행 대동맥류의 파열을 동반한 전 흉부 대동맥류를 갖고 있었다. 수술은 횡행 개흉 흉골 절개술을 통하여 접근하여 초 저체온 완전 체외순환 정지 및 역행성 뇌관류하에 시행하였다. 환자는 순조롭게 회복하였으며 신경학적 합병증 없이 퇴원하였다.
