[Surgery for multiple aortic aneurysms with unstable angina pectoris; report of a case].

2008 
A 77-year-old female with unstable angina pectoris was referred to our hospital for further evaluation of multiple aortic aneurysms. Computed tomography showed descending thoracic (65 mm), thoracoabdominal (40 mm) and infra-renal abdominal aneurysm (50 mm). Initially, this patient underwent off pump coronary revascularization. On 11 days after initial surgery, descending thoracic aneurysm ruptured, followed by emergent descending thoracic and thoraco-abdominal aneurysm repair. Two months later from this aortic repair, this patient successfully underwent abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. At 3 years and 7th month after the last operation, she is well without limitation of daily activities and any evidence of myocardial ischemia.
