    Abstract:
    We report a rare case of 65-year-old man who developed thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm of Crawford type III complicated with Buerger's disease. He was admitted to our hospital with chief complaints of upper abdominal and back pain. CT showed that the aneurysm extended from the descending thoracic aorta to the aortic bifurcation and its had a maximum width of 95 mm. Angiogram (IA-DSA) revealed that both popliteal arteries were occluded slightly above the level of the knee joint, although collateral vessels were visualized. He underwent preliminary graft replacement of the abdominal aorta with the end-to-side supplemental branch for cannulation. Subsequently we performed graft replacement of the thoracoabdominal aorta with reconstruction of the celiac and superior mesenteric arteries and intercostal arteries on under partial cardiopulmonary bypass. This supplemental branch of abdominal aortic graft was useful in preventing ipsilateral leg ischemia. During the reconstruction of the major visceral branches, the branches were perfused selectively via partial extracorporeal circulation. Post operative courses were uneventful without paraplegia and leg ischemia. Angiographic examination revealed excellent hemodynamic results.
