  • Title: A time bomb in the thorax: the giant ascending aortic aneurysm: case report.
    Author: Fiore A, Grande AM, Pellegrini C, Viganò M.
    Journal: G Chir; 2012; 33(1-2):24-5. PubMed ID: 22357434.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a 82-year-old woman, asymptomatic, subject to chest computed tomography for trauma. Then the patient underwent surgery. Before sternotomy, femoro-femoral bypass was starter in order to decompress the aneurysm; using deep hypothermia and circulatory arrest, ascending aorta and hemiarch replacement were performed with a Dacron graft. Post-operative course was uneventful.
