[Surgical Experience of Distal Aortic Arch Aneurysm Suspected to be Associated with Pre-existing Coarctation of the Aorta].
Kyobu Geka. the Japanese Journal of Thoracic Surgery 2018 Februrary
A 45 year-old-man who had undergone ventricular septal defect repair during childhood presented with hoarseness. He was diagnosed as having a distal aortic arch aneurysm by using computed tomography, and was referred to our hospital for surgical treatment. The operation was performed via a 4th intercostal thoracotomy in the right lateral position. The aortic aneurysm occupied the upper pleural cavity. The aortic arch was pressed up by the aortic aneurysm, so visual identification and clamping of the proximal aorta and the left subclavian artery were extremely difficult. Extracorporeal circulation was established via the right femoral artery and vein. Aneurysmal resection and graft replacement were performed using the open proximal method and retrograde cerebral circulation. The aneurysmal wall and proximal aorta were fragile and the proximal aorta was narrow, although the distal aorta was normal. The difference in diameters between the proximal and distal aorta suggested the presence of coarctation of the aorta.
