ABSTRACT

This article reports a case of thoracic aortic aneurysm with hemoptysis as the first clinical manifestation, hemoptysis as the first clinical manifestation is very uncommon and to the best of our knowledge, only twenty of such cases have been previously reported. The case report presented here constitutes the longest course of the disease reported in medical literature, and good recovery after thoracic endovascular aortic repair, may help us to increase the understanding and diagnosis of the disease.
