Abstract
We describe a case of 67-year-old man suffering from chronic aortic arch aneurysm complicated by rupture and hemorrhage to the left pleural cavity. The patient underwent emergency hybrid operation: extraanatomical transposition of aortic arch branches to ascending aorta and implantation of stentgraft into the arch without the extracorporeal circulation.
