Proximal pseudoaneurysm of ascending-abdominal aortic bypass

Eur J Cardiothorac Surg. 2001 Apr;19(4):531-3. doi: 10.1016/s1010-7940(01)00633-9.

Abstract

Proximal pseudoaneurysm of ascending-abdominal aortic bypass is an uncommon surgical disease. We report a repair of complete detachment of proximal anastomosis of the ascending-abdominal aortic bypass in a 68-year-old man that underwent surgery in 1988 for chronic descending thoracic aortic aneurysm treated with thromboesclusion technique. The clinical, diagnostic, and operative aspects are discussed.
