A 93-year-old man receiving follow-up care for hypertension and a thoracic aorta aneurysm experienced suddenprecordial and back pain. He requested an ambulance and was taken to our hospital. We checked his thoracic aortawith computed tomography and diagnosed him with an 84 mm maximum minor-axis diameter arch thoracic aorticaneurysm (TAA) with imminent rupture and pleural effusion. After undergoing 2-debranch TEVAR emergencysurgery, the patient made an uneventful recovery without postoperative complications and left the hospital on hisown on POD 35. This case is being reported because it describes the successful treatment of TAA with an emergency stent graft for a patient of advanced age.
