title: A patient with two chronic posttraumatic aneurysms of the thoracic aorta.
abstract: A case of successful replacement of two coexistent chronic post-traumatic aneurysms of the thoracic aorta is presented. Presumably, these aneurysms at the aortic isthmus and the descending thoracic aorta resulted from two different deceleration traumas.
