Case Reports
Graft replacement of the dissecting aneurysm originating in the suprarenal abdominal aorta. A case report.
Spontaneous dissection originating in the suprarenal aorta is very rare. We successfully treated a patient with this type of aneurysm by a safe and reliable operative method. ⋯ And for reconstruction of visceral arteries, a graft with multiple branches was used. In spite of renal dysfunction before surgery and aortic clamping time extending for 40 minutes, the patient recovered almost uneventfully, and postoperative angiography confirmed good patency of the graft.
