| Popis: | Pseudoaneurysm and aorto-cutaneous fistula following surgical procedures of the aorta are rare complications with potentially catastrophic results that require rapid diagnosis and urgent surgical treatment. We performed a successful life-saving operation using hypothermic circulatory arrest with femoral artery and vein cannulation. The patient had undergone open heart surgery in our clinic twice, and there was active and abundant bleeding from aorta-cutaneous fistula that occured 5 years after the last surgery. |
