title: [Compression of the right pulmonary artery by a dissecting aneurysm of the ascending aorta. Value of x-ray computed tomography].
abstract: Right pulmonary artery compression by a dissecting aortic aneurysm-value of computed tomography. The authors relate a case of dissecting aortic aneurysm occurring as a late complication of aortic valve replacement and causing right pulmonary artery compression. Computed tomography appears to be performing technique for the exploration of this unusual case.
