Abstract
A patient with occlusion of the left anterior descending artery and rupture of the aortic isthmus following blunt trauma is reported. Treatment of both lesions through a median sternotomy using cardiopulmonary bypass was accomplished successfully. Special considerations regarding the surgical management of combined cardiac and aortic isthmus lesions in trauma patients are discussed.Keywords
