  • Title: [A case of chronic traumatic aneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta with the aberrant right subclavian artery].
    Author: Suzuki S, Kondo J, Kurata H, Imoto K, Kajiwara H, Sakamoto S, Matsumoto A.
    Journal: Kyobu Geka; 1990 Oct; 43(11):904-7. PubMed ID: 2250438.
    Abstract:
    A 59-year-old man had developed gradual prominence of the aortic knob in a chest X-ray film after a blunt chest trauma. Two and a half years after trauma, an angiogram revealed the aberrant right subclavian artery and a saccular aneurysm at the thoracic descending aorta just distal to it. It was treated with patch closure of the entrance of the aneurysm under a temporary bypass. Pathological findings were tearing off of a medial layer of the aorta. Postoperative course of this case was excellent. It must be noticed that the traumatic thoracic aortic aneurysm had a high possibility of rupture even in the chronic stage.
