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.
