A 14-year-old male pedestrian was hit by a truck and admitted with respiratory distress and subcutaneous emphysema. Aortography revealed disruption of the ascending aorta. Bronchoscopy revealed rupture of the left main bronchus at the carina. Both lesions were repaired using a median sternotomy, cardiopulmonary bypass, and a transpericardial approach for the bronchial repair. To our knowledge, this is the first report of successful repair of a combined rupture of a major bronchus and the ascending aorta.
