[Ruptured aortic arch aneurysm with hemorrhagic cardiac tamponade: report of a case].
A 67-year-old female was sent into our hospital for ruptured thoracic aneurysm with hemorrhagic cardiac tamponade. Computed tomography (CT) showed pericardial effusion and ruptured aortic arch aneurysm. We performed urgent graft replacement of the aortic arch using selective cerebral perfusion under mild hypothermia. Postoperative course was uneventful.
