    Abstract:
    Patients with thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA) often have severe ischemic heart disease. The determination of which condition to treat first is based on disease severity, but in some cases the conditions are equally severe. A 78-year-old woman received a diagnosis of a 59-mm TAAA and coronary artery stenosis. We performed simultaneous TAAA repair, using the patched aortoplasty method, and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) through a median sternotomy. No perioperative complications occurred, the patient was discharged in stable condition, and early follow-up visits were uneventful.
