No case of graft replacement for abdominal aortic aneurysm in a case of congenital deficiency of coagulation factor X III has yet been reported. Recently we performed graft replacement of 66-year-old man with congenital deficiency of coagulation factor X III. Concentrated factor X III separated from human placenta (Fibrogamin®) was used during, before and after the operation. We measured factor X III activity, and when the activity was so low that replacement therapy was necessary, we administered Fibrogamin immediately. We maintained coagulation factor X III activity at over 70%. No adverse reaction of factor X III replacement therapy was observed. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient did not have delayed wound healing.

A 68-year-old woman complained of hemoptic shock and recovered with conservative treatment. Ruptured descending aorta into the left lung was diagnosed. Graft replacement of the descending aorta was successfully performed. We speculated that spontaneous rupture of the descending aorta into the left lung might have occurred due to high blood pressure affecting the weak aortic wall with sclerotic change, causing hemoptysis. The ruptured descending aorta was successfully replaced without dissection between the ruptured aorta and the left lung. The postoperative course was uneventful with neither pulmonary nor infectious complications.

A 45-year-old woman who was a Jehovah's Witness was admitted to our hospital with a complaint of palpitation and sort on-effort. A ruptured aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva (RASV) associated with stenosis of the right ventricular outflow was diagnosed. Operative findings revealed a RASV with a double chambered right ventricle (DCRV) and a ventricular septal defect (VSD). RASV, DCRV and VSD were successfully repaired with extracorporeal circulation without use of homologous blood. We reported this case because congenital combination of RASV, DCRV and VSD is very rare.

A 69-year-old man complained of abdominal pain with inflammatory reaction. Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with a left main trunk lesion was diagnosed and he successfully underwent Y-graft replacement of the abdominal aorta and coronary artery bypass grafting. Finally AAA was classified as “inflammatory” by histopathological findings. We present this case of “inflammatory AAA” associated with coronary artery disease, and discuss it with a review of literatures.
