Abstract
- Chronic irritation to arterial wall by foreign material may give rise to delayed vascular injury. A 50 years old male patient with kyphoscoliosis had undergone fixation of orthopedic Cotrel-Dubousset(CD) rods and screws. Fourteen months after that surgery, a false aneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta associated with pulsating hematoma in the muscular chest wall developed. The false aneurysm was managed by resecting the diseased aortic segment and replacing the vascular graft.
