[Surgical Treatment for Ruptured Thoracoabdominal Aneurysm Following Descending Aortic Replacement with Double Barrel Anastomosis].

A 75-year-old woman was diagnosed with type B acute aortic dissection 14 years ago and 3-channeled aortic dissection 7 years ago. She received total arch replacement 6 years ago and descending aortic replacement with double barrel anastomosis technique for distal anastomosis 5 years ago. Computed tomography( CT) revealed giant thyroid tumor and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm( 58 mm in diameter). She suffered from back pain during her follow-up period. CT revealed ruptured thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm. First, the false lumen of descending aorta was closed by thoracic endovascular aortic repair, and then thoracoabdominal aortic replacement was performed uneventfully.
