Y-graft replacement was successfully
performed in a patient aged 93years with ruptured infrarenal
abdominal aortic aneurysm. The patient was in shock on arrival
and underwent an emergency operation with the administration
of cathecholamines. The ruptured infrarenal abdominal aortic
aneurysm with a large hematoma, which was located in the area
of the left common iliac artery, was 10cm in the maximum diameter.
The bilateral common iliac arteries were strongly calcified and
occluded. The distal end of the graft was anastomosed to the
external iliac artery. The patient's postoperative course was
uneventful.
