    Journal: Ann Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 2001 Feb; 7(1):56-8. PubMed ID: 11343569.
    Abstract:
    A 28-year-old male, who was involved in an automobile accident 11 years previously, was diagnosed as having a chronic traumatic thoracic aneurysm. An enhanced computed tomographic scanning (CT) and three-dimensional CT demonstrated that a thoracic aortic aneurysm of 50 mm in the maximal axis was located at the aortic isthmus and dilated posteriorly. He underwent thoracic aorta graft replacement using Femoro-femoral partial bypass. The surgery was successful and the postoperative course was uneventful.
