A Case of 1-Stage Replacement of the Ascending Aorta, Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting and Revascularization of the Lower Extremities / 日本心臓血管外科学会雑誌

ABSTRACT

An 86-year-old woman was transferred to our hospital because of chest pain and left incomplete paralysis. CT-scan revealed a dissecting aortic aneurysm (DeBakey type 2) 6cm in diameter. Coronary angiography and aortography were perfomed to assess the coronary artery disease and ASO, they showed occluded LAD, 90% stenosis of CX and occluded left external iliac artery. We planned a 1-stage operation. Coronary artery bypass grafting with the beating heart was carried out prior to replacement of the ascending aorta. Then we performed femoro-femoro bypass. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged 23 days after the operation.
