Abstract
A 74-year-old man who previously underwent a repair of an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm was scheduled for a repair of his thoracic aortic aneurysm. CT angiography using 16-row multi-slice CT clearly demonstrated the artery of Adamkiewicz and its collateral circulation via internal thoracic artery (Figs. 1 and 2).
