    Abstract:
    A 90-year-old woman was transferred to our hospital because of severe chest and back pain. Chest computed tomography (CT) scan showed impending rupture of the true aneurysm of the aortic arch. Emergent operation was performed under deep hypothermia and retrograde cerebral perfusion through median sternotomy. Ascending and transverse aorta were totally replaced with arch graft with 4 branches using the arch vessels first technique. Postoperative course was uneventful expect for urinary tract infection. She discharged from our hospital 76 days after the operation and is now doing well.
