Right anterolateral thoracotomy with partial sternotomy for chronic type B aortic dissection with right aortic arch and Kommerell's diverticulum.

Chronic type B aortic dissection with the right aortic arch was rare. We present the case of a 59-year-old man with a right aortic arch and chronic type B aortic dissection, with a maximum size of 80 mm. Graft replacement was successfully performed through right anterolateral thoracotomy with partial sternotomy through the fourth intercostal space.

Reimplantation approach for an anomalous aortic origin of the right coronary artery with an aberrant right subclavian artery.

Anomalous aortic origin of the right coronary artery is a rare disease. Although there are various reports on its treatment, the method of the surgical approach is still controversial. Here, we present a rare case of a 17 year-old man who had an anomalous aortic origin of the right coronary artery with an aberrant right subclavian artery.

Hybrid single staged treatment of coronary arteries and aorto-iliac obstruction disease: a case report.

Background: If the internal thoracic artery is a collateral circulation to the lower extremities, careful consideration should be given to its use when coronary artery bypass grafting is required. We report a case of CABG with bilateral common iliac artery lesions and collateral circulation from the bilateral ITAs on the peripheral side.

Case Presentation: A 58-year-old man was admitted to our department with claudication and dyspnea upon exertion.

Acute iliac arterial thrombosis during laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection.

Background: Acute iliac arterial thrombosis during surgery is very rare complication. There were few reports on this complication relative to gastroenterological surgery, and the risk has not been recognized.

Case Presentation: A 70-year-old man, diagnosed with a rectal cancer (adenocarcinoma of rectum) with known history heavy cigarette smoking with no known history of peripheral vascular disease underwent a laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection.

Subclavian artery aneurysm in a patient with vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

We describe our experience of surgical treatment in a 28-year-old woman with vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. A right subclavian artery aneurysm was detected. The right vertebral artery arose from the aneurysm.

Coronary subclavian steal syndrome detected during coronary bypass surgery in a hemodialysis patient.

Coronary subclavian steal syndrome associated with upper extremity arteriovenous fistula is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening condition. We present a case of a 65-year-old male on hemodialysis with a left upper extremity arteriovenous fistula who underwent coronary revascularization involving bypass with the left internal thoracic artery to the left anterior descending artery. Intraoperative transit-time graft flow measurements and fluorescence imaging showed a reversed flow in the left internal thoracic artery, and the left internal thoracic artery was successfully converted as a free graft from the ascending aorta to the left anterior descending artery.

Sudden cardiac arrest: associated with anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the left main coronary artery.

Anomalous origin of the coronary artery from the opposite sinus of Valsalva and a course of that artery between the ascending aorta and the pulmonary artery is a rare congenital anomaly. It can cause myocardial ischemia, syncope, and sudden cardiac death in young people. Herein, we report the case of a 24-year-old man who was brought to our hospital after cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation.
