    Abstract:
    We reported a case of successful aortic arch replacement using selective cerebral perfusion for ruptured distal aortic arch aneurysm (DAAA) with cardiac tamponade. A 80-year-old man who had preoperative episode of severe chest pain. Computed tomography showed saccular DAAA and pericardial effusion. He was diagnosed as ruptured DAAA with hemorrhagic cardiac tamponade. We performed urgent graft replacement of the aortic arch using selective cerebral perfusion. Postoperatively he had no complication. Thirty days after the operation he was discharged from the hospital and he is now leading a normal life.
