|
A 59-year-old man with a history of ascending aorta replacement for an aortic dissection using gelatin-resorcin-formalin glue at age of 50 years presented with paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea. An echocardiogram showed severe aortic regurgitation associated with aortic root enlargement. Chest computed tomography showed that the ascending aorta was dilated and a pseudoaneurysm was observed around the implanted prosthetic graft. Upon opening the ascending aorta, we found that the posterior wall of the proximal anastomotic portion of the implanted graft was ruptured. After replacement of the aortic root with a composite graft and reconstruction of the orifices of the right and left coronary arteries, total arch replacement by the separated graft technique was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful. |
