ABSTRACT
A 79-year-old hypertensive woman, with fusiform shaped atherosclerotic aneurysm in the descending thoracic aorta whose medial layer was maintained by an extensive solid calcium plate (porcelain aorta), was successfully treated using a sutureless intraluminal ringed graft. Spools of the ring were fixed by circumferential ligatures at both proximal and distal sites of anastomosis and a dilated segment of the aorta was replaced with the tube graft.
