title: [An elderly case of ruptured aortic arch aneurysm 3 years after coronary artery bypass grafting].
abstract: We reported a case of trans-aortic endovascular stent grafting (open stent method) for ruptured true aneurysm of the aortic arch. A 83-year-old female, who had suddenly complained back pain and been diagnosed as the ruptured aortic arch aneurysm by computer tomography, was admitted for an emergent surgery. We performed emergent trans-aortic endovascular stent grafting (open stent method). Postoperatively she had no complication and recovered uneventfully.
