[Surgical treatment for ruptured descending thoracic aortic aneurysm with the left lung hematoma; report of a case].
An 80-year-old female was admitted with sudden onset of back pain and hemoptysis. The diagnosis was ruptured descending aortic aneurysm with the left lung hematoma. Emergency operation was performed. The graft replacement of the ruptured descending thoracic aneurysm and left lower lobectomy was done. She was extubated on the 1st postoperative day. The postoperative course was uneventful without pulmonary and graft complications. We thought that concomitant left lower lobectomy was useful in this patient.
