title: [Surgery for thoracic aortic aneurysm in the elderly patients with renal insufficiency and pulmonary disfunction].
abstract: Renal insufficiency and pulmonary disfunction are the major risk factors of surgical treatment for thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA). The 1st case was 79-year-old female with ruptured TAA. The 2nd case was 76-year-old female with thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysm. Both patients successfully treated with graft replacement using temporally shunt (12 mm Gore-Tex graft), tracheostomy and epidural analgesia.
