    Abstract:
    Twenty-three patients were examined and operated on for aneurysms of anastomoses which formed after reconstructive operations on the thoracic aorta for its coarctation (15), kinking of the arch of the aorta (4), traumatic aneurysms (2), nonspecific aortoarteritis (1) and dissecting aneurysm (1). The involved segment had to be repaired with a prosthesis in all operations carried out for the second time. In 30% of patients the course was complicated (aortopulmonary fistulas, false aneurysm with dissection of the descending thoracic aorta). Mortality was 57% in a complicated course and 6.3% in uncomplicated cases. The results of the operation were good in 18 patients.
