Abstract

The authors report the clinical case of a dissecting thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm, in a 49-years old female, with the diagnosis of Marfan's syndrome, who underwent surgical treatment utilizing the "simplified technique", introduced by ourselves in 1983, for the management of this most demanding situation. Reviewed ten years later, having reassumed her social and professional life, a control angio-CT disclosed the procedure of aortic reconstruction and the revascularization of the digestive and renal arteries working in excellent condition. The unique and singular reconstructive procedure here utilized and its excellent long term result, justify its presentation and divulgation.
