[A surgical case of descending aortic aneurysm combined with simultaneous aortocoronary bypass grafting through a left lateral thoracotomy].
A 71-year-old man with a descending aortic aneurysm was admitted to the hospital because of abnormal chest CT. Aortogram revealed an aneurysm of the descending aorta. His coronary angiogram showed 75% stenosis at LCX (Seg II). The graft replacement of descending aortic aneurysm and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) were performed through a left lateral thoracotomy. Postoperative course was good. Postoperative angiogram demonstrated successful reconstruction of the descending aorta and a patent bypass graft. The patient discharged healthy without any complications.
