“…Trauma, infection and coarctation of the aorta are the other etiologic factors 1 . The etiological factors of the saccular aortic aneurysms are trauma, fungal infection, and open‐heart surgery 2 . Atherosclerotic degeneration is generally considered to be the etiological factor of fusiform aneurysms, while active or recovered focal infections of the aortic wall and penetrating aortic ulcers are the predisposed factor for saccular aneurysms 3,4 .…”

Diagnostic and Surgical Approach to a Descending Thoracic Aorta Saccular Aneurysm Case

et al. 2007

Descending aorta saccular aneurysms are seen less than fusiform aneurysms. All symptomatic saccular aneurysms must be operated. In this study, we present a saccular aneurysm case developed at the descending aorta 1 year after a motor vehicle crash. Following an aorta-LAD saphenous vein graft anastomosis performed in beating heart, the aneurysm neck was closed with a Dacron patch under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. All signs and symptoms removed dramatically after the operation. Regarding this case, we recommend that the surgical treatment must be performed in accordance with localization and specialties of aortic aneurysms.
