[Extended total arch replacement with coronary artery bypass grafting( CABG) via left thoracotomy;report of a case].

The operative procedure of extensive aortic aneurysm with ischemic coronary artery disease is controversial. We report a case of arch and descending thoracic aortic aneurysm replacement with coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG)via left thoracotomy. A 70-year-old man followed up by hepatic disease was diagnosed with expanding aortic thoracic aneurysm at the other hospital. He had admission to our hospital for surgical intervention. Computed tomography(CT)revealed arch and descending thoracic aortic aneurysm, and coronary arteriography (CAG) revealed #7 90% and #13 75% stenosis. We performed arch and descending thoracic aortic aneurysm replacement with CABG via left thoracotomy. Replaced synthetic graft and bypass grafts were patent on the postoperative CT. He was discharged at 15th postoperative day with no morbidity.
