Abstract

This report describes a patient with a thoracic aortic aneurysm who presented with chest pain and dyspnea. Preoperative studies revealed a massive cardiomediastinal silhouette. Within hours after the operation, a profound reduction in cardiomegaly was observed. Herein, we describe the distinctive imaging and technical aspects of the surgical procedure.
