Abstract
Total aortic replacement is preferably performed by staged operations, and reports of a simultaneous operation are few. In these reports, both a median sternotomy and a thoracoabdominal incision are employed. We report a patient who successfully underwent simultaneous total aortic replacement without a sternotomy incision. The technique and the feasibility of the operation are discussed.
