- Abstract
Lung cancer can sometimes invade vital adjacent mediastinal structures, such as the descending thoracic aorta. We describe 2 cases where pulmonary resection was performed en bloc including a patch of the descending thoracic aorta. These procedures were easily performed using an aortic endoprosthesis in the same anesthetic procedure. We also comment some aspects about an intraoperative endoleak, postoperative evolution, and long-term follow-up.
