title: [A case report of aneurysm of the diverticulum of the ductus arteriosus in the elderly].
abstract: A 82-year-old female was admitted to our department with complaint of hoarseness. Retrograde aortogram revealed an aneurysm arising from distal aortic arch. The aorta including the aneurysm was resected and replaced with woven Dacron graft under partial cardiopulmonary bypass. An Aneurysm of the diverticulum of the ductus arteriosus is rare in adult and because of its high fatality it should be resected.
