Accepted for publication November 27, 1995.

A 36-year-old woman in the second trimester of pregnancy underwent emergent operative repair of a traumatic aortic disruption caused by a motor vehicle accident. Left atrial-to-femoral artery bypass was used to maintain fetal circulation during the cross-clamp period. Her healthy, full-term child was subsequently delivered 3 months later by normal vaginal delivery.
