Key result
A 56-year-old man with a giant aortic arch aneurysm and tracheobronchial compression successfully underwent emergency simultaneous aortic arch replacement and coronary artery bypass grafting.
Why the study?
Giant thoracic aortic aneurysms have high mortality and pulmonary complications, such as tracheobronchial compression, posing urgent clinical risks.

Complex case of giant aneurysm with multivessel coronary disease; leaves open optimal management strategies in high-risk patients.
Balkhy et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Giant thoracic aortic aneurysm with tracheobronchial compression (n=1). Simultaneous surgical intervention (aneurysmectomy, total prosthetics of the aortic arch, and CABG) was evaluated on Surgical success and patient recovery. A 56-year-old man with a giant aortic arch aneurysm and tracheobronchial compression successfully underwent emergency simultaneous aortic arch replacement and coronary artery bypass grafting.
