Spontaneous rupture of the thoracic descending aorta is rare, and uniformly fatal without surgery. We report herein the case of a man in whom such a rupture was successfully treated with emergency surgery. We believe that the rupture in this patient was most likely associated with perforation through an atherosclerotic plaque of the descending aorta and was induced by sudden hypertension.
胸降主动脉自发性破裂罕见，若不手术治疗通常会致命。我们在此报告一例男性患者，其胸降主动脉破裂通过急诊手术成功治愈。我们认为该患者的破裂很可能与降主动脉粥样硬化斑块穿孔有关，并由突发高血压诱发。
