description A 64-year-old man sought medical attention from a family physician, expressing concerns about dysphagia. Recognizing the complexity of the symptoms, the family physician promptly engaged the expertise of an attending physician at a regional hospital to ensure accurate diagnosis and management. Plain computed tomography (CT) revealed a space-occupied lesion located posterior to the trachea. Although mediastinal tumor was suspected at first, contrast-enhanced CT revealed a distal arch aneurysm that compressed the esophagus. The patient underwent total arch replacement, and the postoperative course was uneventful.
