Chronic, traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta

FC Albuquerque, MJ Krasna and JS McLaughlin
Division of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore.

Rupture of the ascending aorta is lethal in virtually all cases. In the recent literature, fewer than 9 cases of chronic, traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta have been documented. Reported herein is such a case, discovered incidentally and repaired successfully under cardiopulmonary bypass using a graft prosthesis. Aortogram remains the diagnostic method of choice in these patients.
