Giant pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta after double-valve replacement.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 47-year old man presented with a large chest swelling 10 months following aortic and mitral valve replacement. Computed tomography revealed a huge ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm (Fig. 1A and B). After establishing hypothermic circulatory arrest through an axillary-femoral bypass, a median sternotomy was performed. The defects were directly closed using two interrupted, pledgeted 4-0 Prolene sutures (Fig. 2A and B).

Simultaneous en bloc replacement of the ascending aorta and aortic valve by a composite valve graft, as first described by Bentall and De Bono in 1968 and with later modifications, has become the standard surgical technique in the treatment of aneurysms of the aortic root associated with severe aortic valve dysfunction. Despite the good surgical results overall, it is still associated with cons...
