Although, tension hemothorax appears along with thoracic injuries in many cases, the incidence is rare and the concept itself has not yet been established. Moreover, reports on tension hemothorax caused by the rupture of thoracic aortic aneurysms are very rare. Herein, we report a case in which thoracic endovascular aortic repair( TEVAR) was carried out following chest drainage in order to treat tension hemothorax accompanying rupture of the descending aortic aneurysm, thus leading to the survival of the patient.
