Abstract:
A 68 year-old man visited our institution due to chest pain. Coronary angiography revealed triple vessel disease. A computed tomographic angiogram performed as a routine preoperative examination demonstrated an intraluminal spider-web-like mass from the infrarenal abdominal aorta to both common iliac arteries. The infrarenal aorta and both common iliac arteries were excised and replaced with concomitant off-pump coronary artery bypass grafts. Histologic examination of the aorta suggested an intimal sarcoma. A postoperative computed tomographic angiogram performed 3 months postoperatively showed no evidence of a residual or a recurred lesion.
