X-ray and computed tomography of the chest of a 36-year-old man 6 years after thoracic endovascular aortic repair for blunt traumatic aortic injury. Chest X-ray shows cardiac dilatation and an infiltrative shadow in the right middle lung field. Computed tomography of the chest shows infiltrative shadows in lung fields on both sides.

Chest X-ray and computed tomography (CT) showed cardiac dilatation and an infiltrative shadow in bilateral lung fields (Fig. 1).
Emergency contrast-enhanced computed tomography of a 36-year-old man taken 6 years after thoracic endovascular aortic repair for blunt traumatic aortic injury. Emergency contrast-enhanced computed tomography does not show aortic dissection. The aortic stent graft and aorta beyond the stent graft display no blood flow degradation, but the aorta beyond the stent graft is narrowed. Maximum diameter of the thoracic aorta is 15 mm, and that of the abdominal aorta is 16 mm.

Both within the aortic stent graft and in the aorta beyond the stent graft, no blood flow degradation was evident, but the aorta beyond the stent graft was narrowed (Fig. 2).
Emergency magnetic resonance imaging of the thoracolumbar junction of a 36-year-old man, taken 6 years after thoracic endovascular aortic repair for blunt traumatic aortic injury. Magnetic resonance imaging of the thoracolumbar junction shows an intraspinal, longitudinal area of signal hyperintensity from the Th7 to Th11 level, although evaluation above the Th7 level was made difficult due to the artifact created by the stent graft. The "H" means the "head" direction of the figure and the arrows show an intraspinal, longitudinal area of signal hyperintensity.

Magnetic resonance imaging of the thoracolumbar junction showed an intraspinal, longitudinal area of signal hyperintensity from the Th7 to Th11 level (Fig. 3).
