We report an unusual outcome of an ascending aorta aneurysm ruptured into the main pulmonary trunk. After successful emergency repair, an acute respiratory distress syndrome developed perioperatively and complicated the postoperative period. The patient could not be weaned from mechanical ventilation for a long time. The patient was discharged on the 62nd day of admission in good condition.
