ABSTRACT
A 60-year-old man who had undergone aortic arch replacement 9 years prerviously was admitted complaining of motor and sensory disturbance of bilateral lower extremities. Bilateral femoral arteries were not palpable and he showed acute panperitonitis just after admission. Enhanced CT and arteriography revealed that the lower half of the body was severely ischemic due to the compression of the graft by a pseudoaneurysm of the proximal anastomotic portion of the aortic arch, and therefore performed an urgent operation. Recognizing acute bowel necrosis of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) area on laparotomy, Hartmann's operation was performed. After that, a right axillo-bifemoral bypass was also made in order to improve the perfusion of the lower half of the body. Though acute renal failure occurred because of DIC and myonephropathic metabolic syndrome (MNMS) postoperatively, the intensive therapy was eventually effective and he recovered.
