AbstractA 71-year-old man was transfered to our hospital with acute aortic rupture due to a hit in the back by a log. Chest computed tomography (CT) demonstrated dissecting aneurysm of thoracic descending aorta, mediastinal hematoma, rib fracture and pulmonary contusion, We performed emergent endovascular stent-graft placement with local anesthesia successfully. The post operative course was uneventful. Chest CT scan after four months showed disappearance of aneurysm and hematoma.
