[A successful surgical case of giant arch aneurysm with severe pulmonary dysfunction and angina pectoris].

A 70-year-old female was admitted to our unit with chief complaints of dyspnea on effort and angina pectoris. She had suffered from chronic bronchitis. Chest CT scan demonstrated a giant arch aneurysm which strongly attached to the left anterior chest wall. Coronary angiogram showed two vessels disease. She successfully underwent coronary artery bypass grafting and total arch replacement under selective cerebral perfusion. She needed long respiratory care because of her pulmonary dysfunction. But she could wean from the ventilator under intensive respiratory care on 46th postoperative days and was discharged on foot.
