Ann Thorac Surg. 1997 Jan;63(1):223-5. doi: 10.1016/s0003-4975(96)00619-4.

Abstract

We present a patient with a descending aortic dissection and contained rupture of a large abdominal aortic aneurysm with a history of inferior myocardial infarction and right coronary occlusion. The technique of combined repair of the descending thoracic aortic dissection with replacement of the ruptured infrarenal abdominal aorta and coronary artery bypass grafting is described.
