Abstract
A 54-year-old woman, who underwent descendo-abdominal aortic bypass grafting for atypical aortic coarctation complicated with Takayasu’s arteritis 37 years previously, was referred to our hospital for treatment of a pseudoaneurysm due to rupture of the graft. Preoperative computed tomography scan also demonstrated an abdominal aortic aneurysm. First, an endovascular stent-graft repair of the pseudoaneurysm was performed, then the abdominal aortic aneurysm was repaired with the aid of cardio-pulmonary bypass. Proper surgical planning was important to treat this rare development accompanied by aberrant circulation.
