Dr Ezure, Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, University of Tokyo, 7-3-1 Hongo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113, Japan.

Endovascular covered stents were successfully applied to temporarily halt hemoptysis and postpone surgical intervention in a 69-year-old man with a ruptured anastomotic false aneurysm of the distal aortic arch. Surgical graft implantation was performed successfully by the elephant trunk technique 14 days after the endovascular stent-grafting, at which time aspiration pneumonia had subsided.
