Abstract
We report the case of an 85-year-old man with a recurrent thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm who underwent two-staged combined endovascular and surgical procedure. First, two retrograde bypasses using saphenous vein grafts were implanted from the right common iliac artery to the celiac artery and superior mesenteric artery. Two weeks later the aneurysm was successfully excluded with a stent-graft. The postoperative course was uneventful. This two-staged combined endovascular and surgical approach may be a safe and effective alternative to open surgical repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm in high-risk patients.
