A 67-year-old man with severe discomfort was diagnosed with a rupture of the thoraco-abdominal aneurysm, a distal arch aneurysm and triple coronary artery disease. After emergency surgery for a thoracoabdominal aneurysm, a scheduled surgery for coronary artery bypass grafting and endoluminal stent-grafting for the distal arch aneurysm was performed simultaneously. A stent-graft was introduced into the descending aorta via a small incision on the arch aorta. Open endovascular stent-grafting via the arch aorta is an alternative for repairing a distal arch aneurysm with coronary artery bypass grafting.
