Abstract
We report a case of aortic perforation caused by the staple line formed during a wedge resection for lung cancer. Six hours after an uneventful wedge resection, sudden frank drainage of blood from the chest tube occurred. A reoperation was performed, and we found bleeding from the aorta. After suturing the bleeding spot on the aorta, we found that the stapling line of the lung rode on the aorta with longitudinal contact. We speculated that the stapling line scratched the aorta in synchrony with the patient's breathing and injured the aorta.
