[Open stent-grafting for saccular aneurysms of the distal arch and descending aorta; report of a case] [English Abstract, Journal Article]
Kyobu Geka 2008 Aug; 61(9):793-6.
We report the utility of an open stent-grafting for saccular aneurysms of the distal arch and descending aorta. A 68-year-old man showed a radiological abnormality on a chest X-ray film. Chest computed tomography (CT) demonstrated saccular aneurysms of the distal arch and descending aorta. Open stent-grafting was performed using a homemade device. The postoperative course was uneventful. Postoperative CT showed satisfactory placement of the endograft, without extravasation. Open stent-grafting was a useful therapeutic procedure in this case of multiple aneurysms.
