  • Title: [Arch aneurysm after coronary artery bypass grafting, report of a case].
    Author: Sasaki H, Tsuchiya K, Hibino S, Matsumoto H, Nakajima M, Yamamoto K.
    Journal: Kyobu Geka; 2004 May; 57(5):395-7. PubMed ID: 15151042.
    Abstract:
    A 63-year-old woman had undergone graft replacement for abdominal aortic aneurysm in 1992, and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using saphenous vein grafts in 1995. At that time arch aneurysm (4.7 cm) was pointed out. Chest computed tomography (CT) showed dilated arch aneurysm (7 cm) in 2000. We performed an operation for arch aneurysm. As the bypass graft to obtuse marginal branch was close to aneurysm, aortic closs clamp was impossible. So we injected potassium chloride to aortic root and cardiac arrest was obtained. Total arch replacement for arch aneurysm was performed and postoperative course was uneventful.
