چکیده
Fourteen days after aortic valve replacement a 60-year-old male patient presented with sternal infection. Subsequent transesophagal echocardiography revealed a huge and pulsatile pseudoaneurysm near the non-coronary sinus of Valsalva. To prevent potential rupture pseudoaneurysm was resected and aortic root replaced with a homograft. Under antibiotic therapy postoperative course was uneventful (Figs. 1 and 2).
