case_images: fig1-2050313X17744072
case_images: We performed a computerized tomography (CT) scan finding an isolated saccular aneurysm with penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer (PAU) at the aortic arch (Figure 1).
case_images: (a) Aortic arch repair was done, first by excision of the saccular aneurysm, continued using Vascutek graft to repair the posterior portion of the arch; (b) anastomosis of the repaired arch toward the proximal aorta; and (c) complete picture of the aortic repair with CABG.

case_images: We excised the saccular region of the arch and did an aortic repair (Figure 2) using a Vascutek graft, followed by anastomosis of the repaired arch toward the proximal aorta.
