Abstract

An anastomotic pseudoaneurysm after the aortic replacement surgery is a rare complication which could be lethal when it ruptures. So it should be corrected whenever it is found after the aortic surgery. The authors performed three surgical corrections in 2 cases. The first case is type 8 chronic aortic dissection with abdominal aortic aneurysm. After an abdominal aortic replacement, the patient developed an anastomotic pseudoaneurysm. We treated him with a thoracoabdominal aortic replacement. The second case is ruputred throacoabdominal aortic aneurysm. After a thoracoabdominal aortic replacement, the patient developed an anastomotic pseudoaneurysm in the proximal anastomosis. We treated her with aortic arch replacement. But She developed another pseudoaneurysm in the aortic root anastomotic site. So we performed secondary operation to reinforce the anastomosis. They all recovered from the operations without any complication and are being followed up.

대동맥수술 후 발생하는 문합부 가성동맥류는 드문 합병증이다. 파열로 심한 출혈이 일어날 경우 치명적이므로 발견 즉시 교정을 해주어야 하는데 본원에서는 2명에서 3번에 걸친 대동맥문합부 가성동맥류를 수술적으로 치료하였으므로 그 과정을 보고하고자 한다. 첫 증례는 B형 만성 대동맥박리증이 있는 환자에서 복부대동맥류를 인조혈관으로 교정한 후에 대동맥문합부에 발생한 가성동맥류였는데 흉복부대동맥치환술로 문합부를 인조혈관끼리 연결 문합하여 치료하였다. 두 번째 증례는 파열 흉복부대동맥류에서 근위부 대동맥문합부에 발생한 가성동맥류로서 대동맥궁 치환술로 문합부를 인조혈관끼리 연결 문합하여 치료하였다. 그 후 이 증례에서는 다시 대동맥근부 문합부에 가성동맥류가 발생되어 재보강하는 이차 수술을 시행하였다. 두 증례 모두 별 합병증 없이 외래에서 경과 관찰 중이다.
