A 67-year-old man was given a diagnosis of lung cancer and thoracic aortic aneurysm(TAA). We first performed thoracic endovascular repair(TEVAR), and then right lower lobectomy for lung cancer. TEVAR shortened the operation time and yielded less operative damage. Therefore, TEVAR can be an effective choice for simultaneous surgery of TAA and lung cancer.
