Abstract:
An 85-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of an abnormal shadow on chest X-ray. Chest and abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in addition to a mass in the right lower lobe. Since both the AAA and lung mass needed surgical treatment, we performed endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) for the AAA, followed by right lower lobectomy 26 days after the surgery for AAA. There were no complications following either operation, and the patient left the hospital on the 10th day after pulmonary resection.
