1 Operation for chronic traumatic aortic aneurysm: when and how?
Takahiro Katsumata, MD, PhD, Amihay Shinfeld, MD, Stephen Westaby  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 66, Issue 3, Pages (September 1998) DOI: /S (98)

2 Fig 1 (Patient 2.) Computed tomographic scan with contrast medium in the bronchi adjacent to the aortobronchial fistula. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (98) )

3 Fig 2 (Patient 8.) Computed tomographic scan 17 years after injury showing the calcified false aneurysm. There was no change in size during the 9-year follow-up period. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (98) )

4 Fig 3 (Patient 6.) Computed tomographic scan showing a densely calcified false aneurysm 3 years after injury. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (98) )

5 Fig 4 (Patient 9.) Three-dimensional reconstructed image of a computed tomographic scan showing a saccular aneurysm above the isthmus. The aneurysm was approached through a median sternotomy. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (98) )

6 Fig 5 (A) (Patient 4.) Aortogram 1.5 years after injury shows a huge false aneurysm separating the origins of the two distal brachiocephalic vessels. (B) The central cannulation technique was employed for distal arch resection through an extended left thoracotomy in patients 2, 4, 6, and 7. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (98) )
