title: Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Stent Graft to Facilitate Aortic Resection During Pneumonectomy and Vertebrectomy for Locally Invasive Lung Cancer.
abstract: Endovascular stent graft placement has been used to facilitate resection of tumors invading the thoracic aorta. Here we describe the first use of an aortic endograft for preoperative protection of the thoracic descending aorta before left pneumonectomy for a primary lung cancer invading the thoracic spine and thoracic descending aorta.
