- Abstract
The article presents a case report of a 69-year-old male patient who died of pulmonary artery rupture, based on the result of his radiograph. The patient developed severe oxygen desaturation and became hypotensive after a thoracic aortic stent-graft was inserted into his chest. He died of multi-organ failure after thoracotomy and pneumonectomy were performed on him.
