1 Thoracic aorta endograft as an adjunct to resection of a locally invasive tumor: A new indication to endograft  Giuseppe Marulli, MD, Sandro Lepidi, MD, Paolo Frigatti, MD, Michele Antonello, MD, Franco Grego, MD, Federico Rea, MD  Journal of Vascular Surgery  Volume 47, Issue 4, Pages (April 2008) DOI: /j.jvs Copyright © 2008 The Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 (a) A computed tomography (CT) scan shows infiltration of carcinoma into the aortic wall (white arrow), and (b) a positron emission tomography (PET) scan reveals an intense uptake in the hilum. After chemotherapy, (c) CT and (d) PET scans show reduction of the mass and resolution of lung atelectasis.

3 Fig 2 (a) Intraoperative view shows that a 3- × 4-cm diameter area (white arrow) comprising adventitia and media of aortic wall has been resected. (b) Histology section (×10 original magnification) of the resected aorta shows adventitia infiltration of cancer (blue arrows). Staining with van Gieson shows elastic fibres (red arrows). (c) Chest radiograph shows the presence of endovascular graft in the descending thoracic aorta.
