Abstract
A 59-year-old man with squamous cell carcinoma of the lung was treated with left pneumonectomy and aortic wall resection. The invaded wall of the descending thoracic aorta was partially resected and repaired with a Dacron patch. He is in good condition 9 months after surgery. In this operation a heparinized tube was used satisfactorily for temporary bypass while the aorta was clamped.
