Repair of a false aneurysm of the aortic arch.
A 66-year-old man having previously undergone repair of aneurysms of the ascending, transverse and infrarenal aorta, presented with a large false aneurysm of the aortic arch. Successful repair of the aneurysm was achieved under a state of profound hypothermia and circulatory arrest. The patient remains well and free from aortic aneurysmal disease two years after surgery.
