Description

A 56-year-old man underwent aortic valve replacement through a right anterolateral thoracotomy at another hospital. He became aware of a lump in his chest and chest pain two years after the operation. Dynamic CT images with a Valsalva maneuver showed lung herniation from the 3rd intercostal space. We performed radical surgery using an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) patch. No recurrence was detected one year after the operation.
