| Popis: | Pseudoaneurysm of the thoracic aorta developed in an infant eight months following neonatal catheterization of the umbilical artery. Infection and placement of a stiff polyvinyl chloride catheter in the thoracic aorta appear to be the etiological factors. Preoperative diagnosis was posterior mediastinal tumor, and pseudoaneurysm was not included in the differential. Dacron graft patch angioplasty repair using partial cardiopulmonary bypass was successful. Postoperatively the patient has done well with no pressure gradient. Pseudoaneurysm should be suspected whenever a mediastinal mass appears in children who have had thoracic placement of umbilical artery catheters. |
