A 71-year-old man was transferred to our hospital because of impending rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Preoperative CT scan demonstrated a huge aneurysm of the aortic arch (TAA) associated with an AAA. Emergency coronary angiography revealed 3-vessel disease. One-stage surgery including TAA repair, coronary bypass surgery, and AAA repair was performed to avoid the possibility of rupture of the remaining aneurysms and the risk of ischemic heart diseases. One-stage surgery is a possible approach for patients with severe multivascular diseases.
