    Abstract:
    A 56-year-old man had undergone ascending aorta and total arch replacement because of aortic dissection (Stanford type A) in 1997. He had onset of diplegia of the lower limb and vesicorectal disability. Computed tomography (CT) showed serpentine aneurysm in the descending aorta, it was seen between the left subclavian artery and diaphragm level. It was 80 mm of maximum diameter. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed for identified Adamkiewicz artery, but we could not identify it. We performed a graft replacement. The 8th intercostal artery was reconstructed with a branch graft. The postoperative course was uneventful. We conclude that graft replacement for spinal ischemia can be effective.
