Large Posterior Ascending Aortic Pseudoaneurysm 10 Years After Cardiac Surgery
Journal Title: The Journal of Middle East and North Africa Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 8
Abstract
Ascending Aortic Pseudoaneurysm (AscAP) is a late and rare complication after cardiac surgery. This may occur 0.02-0.2% of after cardiac surgery procedures and the hospital mortality rate could be 6.9-15.4%. Multidetector computed tomography can provide accurate diagnoses as to the exact location and size of AscAP for surgical planning and follow-up. According to the scientific literature, the gold standard treatment is surgery but many case reports describe conservative therapy. Authors presented a case of giant posterior aortic pseudoaneurysm originating from the left side of the previous aortotomy.
