Pseudoaneurysm of the Ascending Aorta following Cardiac Surgery

Double pseudoaneurysm, recurrent subvalvular aortic membrane and small left ventricular outflow tract in the same patient: who dares?

“…However, high rate of life-threating situations related to this entity have been described, which make early intervention essential (4). The most frequent place for pseudoaneurysm after AVR is the aortic cannulation location and the suture line of the aortotomy (3,5). Our patient had an infrequent site of both pseudoaneurysms, which were related to the aortic annulus, below the implanted prosthesis.…”

Surgical treatment of ascending aortic false aneurysm

“…Приобретенные аневризмы развиваются в результате медианекроза, сифилиса, атеросклероза, эн-докардита или травмы и, как правило, имеют диффузный характер распространения [3]. Потенциальные участки формирования ЛА: область наложения поперечного за-жима, линия шва и места катетеризации аорты, границы анастомозов [4,7]. Пациенты с двустворчатым АК нахо-дятся в группе повышенного риска развития осложнений со стороны аорты, при этом замена АК полностью не ис-ключает возможность прогрессирования дилатации [8,9].…”

Surgical Management of a Ruptured Pseudoaneurysm Late after Total Arch Replacement with Omentoplasty

“…[5][6][7] A major surgical challenge is to choose the appropriate surgery when a pseudoaneurysm has ruptured and especially after an omentoplasty has been performed.…”

“…5,6) The last etiology is the most frequent cause. 6) Aortic pseudoaneurysm occurs in 0.5% of all cardiovascular surgical cases.…”

“…5,6) The last etiology is the most frequent cause. 6) Aortic pseudoaneurysm occurs in 0.5% of all cardiovascular surgical cases. 7) Surgery for the pseudoaneurysm is hazardous and may result in massive and uncontrollable hemorrhage if the pseudoaneurysm is ruptured.…”
