A 72-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of hemosputum. Enhanced CT showed ruptured true aortic arch aneurysm. True aortic arch aneurysm ruptured at distal portion of aneurysm. ⋯ She weaned from respiratory support. True aortic arch aneurysm combined with Stanford type A dissection is very rare. We presented ruptured true aortic arch aneurysm in association with Stanford type A chronic dissection which had an entry in true aneurysm.

Tracheobronchial injuries remain uncommon, but they are of great significance, because they can result in death or substantinal functional compromise. Such injuries are mostly from blunt trauma and motor vehicle accidents, but there also is an incidence of penetrating thoracic trauma inclunding iatrogenic accidents. Three cases of iatrogenic injury of tracheobronchial membranous wall were reported. ⋯ Another case was tracheal membranous wall injury during operation at blunt dissection for esophageal carcinoma. We reported the emergent managements for iatrogenic injury of tracheobroncheal membranous wall in differents 3 ways. We should select the best treatment according to the condition of the patients and situation of the injury.
