[Single-stage resection of giant thoracic aortic aneurysm and pneumonectomy].

Abstract

The authors present surgical treatment for giant thoracic aortic aneurysm complicated by aorto-bronchial fistula in a 65-year-old patient. Descending aortic replacement and left-sided pneumonectomy were carried out. Despite the high risks and complexity of intervention, the patient was discharged after 38 days and returned to normal life 3 months later.
