Hiroshi Kumeda, MD, Yukihiro Tomita, MD, Shigeki Morita, MD, Hisataka Yasui, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 79, Issue 3, Pages (March 2005) DOI: /j.athoracsur

2 Fig 1 Preoperative and postoperative enhanced chest computed tomographic (CT) scans. (a) Preoperative CT scan showed a large aneurysm of the aortic arch, which compressed the left main bronchus (arrowhead). (b) Postoperative CT scan demonstrated relief of the stenosis of the left main bronchus (arrowhead). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.athoracsur )

3 Fig 2 Operative procedures to relieve the stenosis of the trachea and bronchus. (a) Two sutures were placed on the posterior wall of the aneurysm sticking to the trachea. (b) The 2 sutures through the sternum were tied each other to lift the aneurysmal wall. (A = aneurysmal wall; G = graft; T = trachea.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.athoracsur )
