title: [Total aortic arch replacement for aortic aneurysm in a 91-year-old man: report of a case].
abstract: A 91-year-old man was transferred to our hospital because of severe chest pain. Chest computed tomography (CT) scan showed impending rupture of the true aneurysm of the aortic arch. The patient underwent emergent graft replacement of the total aortic arch. He was extubated on the 1st postoperative day, and received continuous hemodiafiltration (CHDF) for oliguria. However, he recovered from oliguria and renal dysfunction. He discharged at the 67th postoperative day.
