Abstract

Successful surgical treatment of impending rupture of a aortic arch dissecting aneurysm in a 59-year-old man was reported. The aneurysm was tightly adhered to the lung, because he had a previous history of lobectomy. In this case, the permanent aortic bypass with permanent aortic clamp as a means of exclusion procedure of the aortic aneurysm was effective. The postoperative course was uneventful. In the emergency operation for aortic arch aneurysm, operative procedure should be selected by operative findings and risk.
