The case of a patient with a chronic, posttraumatic descending thoracic aortic aneurysm and a large diaphragmatic hernia is presented. We repaired the diaphragm with Prolene mesh and externally grafted the aneurysm. To our knowledge, simultaneous repair of these two chronic injuries has not been reported. The merits of external grafting of aortic aneurysms are discussed.
