Abstract: We report the successful treatment of a life-threatening thoracoabdominal aneurysm in a young patient affected by type I Loeys-Dietz syndrome. To overcome anatomic and surgical difficulties, we used an original strategy and a specially designed surgical tool. The clinical and technical aspects of this approach are presented.<br /> (Copyright © 2010 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)
