A 79-years-old frail man with severe combined valvular disease was referred to our hospital. Furthermore, chest computed tomography( CT) showed a saccular aneurysm in the aortic arch. We chose two staged repairs for risk reduction. As a first stage double valve replacement and tricuspid annuloplasty were performed. Three months later, we performed successful branched thoracic endovascular aortic repair( TEVAR) used physician modified Najuta which had hydrogel-reinforced fenestrations to provide a more secure connection with the bridging graft than fenestrations alone. Staged surgery with branched TEVAR used physician modified Najuta is a useful strategy in patients who have complex cardiac disease combined with aortic arch aneurysm.
