A case of traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta occurring in a postoperative patient who underwent an arch replacement and Bentall's operation was reported. A bleeding point was clear at the graft of the ascending aorta, and a pseudoaneurysmal formation was suspected following an echocardiogram. An aortogram demonstrated the presence of an aneurysm approximately 8 cm by 4 cm in size originating 5 cm above the right coronary ostia. An emergency operation was carried out. A Trans-femoral bypass was established before sternotomy. The Operative findings showed that adhesive connective tissue covered a pseudoaneurysm 8 cm by 4 cm in size, and that there was a tear in the anastomosis of the grafts between the ascending aorta and the arch 5 cm above the coronary ostia. Direct suture was performed, using hypothermic circulatory arrest. In this paper, we discuss the mechanism, classification, and operative strategy of traumatic pseudoaneurysm. |
