A large thoracoabdominal aneurysm is being resected.
A large thoracoabdominal aneurysm is being resected. The patient's head is to the left and his feet are to the right. The diaphragm has been divided. Note the ‘python-like’ enlargement of this aorta. A sterile soda can (6.2 cm) denotes the attainment of a dangerous aortic diameter. If the patient's aorta is approaching the size of a soda can, it must be resected. John A Elefteriades et al.
