A pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta is an unusual and potentially fatal complication after aortic surgical procedures. A contrast computed tomographic scan is the investigation of choice. Surgical treatment is mandatory. We describe the successful management of a pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta by instituting femorofemoral bypass and achieving hypothermic circulatory arrest, which provided safe reentry and prevented an impending rupture.
