    Abstract:
    A successful removal of the infected thoracic aortic aneurysm ruptured to the lung is reported. A 59-year-old man who had been suffering from high fever showed sudden hemoptysis and shock during antibiotic therapy. Immediately a so-called temporary bypass grafting from ascending aorta to descending aorta was placed with a woven Dacron prosthesis, and then aneurysmectomy with upper lobectomy of the left lung was carried out. Finally the graft was left as a permanent bypass graft. In addition, the left subclavian artery was reconstructed with a EPTFE graft. The patient is now well one year after operation.
