title: Stent-grafting to descending thoracic aorta during coronary artery bypass grafting.
abstract: We report on 2 patients who underwent successful concomitant operation of coronary artery bypass grafting and stent grafting to descending thoracic aortic aneurysms. The device was inserted through a small linear incision on the anterior wall of the aortic arch. Intraoperative stent grafting to descending thoracic aortic aneurysms is an alternative therapeutic option for patients who require concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting and descending aortic replacement.
