title: [Stent-graft implantation for the patient with ruptured acute aortic syndrome: report of a case].
abstract: We report a ruptured case of acute aortic syndrome and a successful treatment with transcatheter placed stent-graft. A 67-year-old man underwent a stent-graft implantation for the patient with ruptured acute aortic syndrome. The patient admitted in our institute for a diagnosis of ruptured acute aortic dissection. We planned to operate a graft replacement for distal arch aorta. But he was complicated with right-side monoplesia before the operation. Then we performed a stent-graft implantation in order to avoid the usage of extra-corporeal circulation. The implantation of the stent-graft was successful and shrinkage of the hematoma around the ruptured aorta was documented on the computed tomography of 7 post-operative day.
