A traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta was visualized in a patient with a history of aorto-coronary bypass surgery following a motor vehicle accident. Diagnostic imaging confirmed the rare injury, highlighting the need for vigilance in trauma cases.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • A 64-year-old female patient with a history of aorto-coronary bypass surgery presented after a motor vehicle accident.
  • The patient had no recent cardiovascular symptoms but required preoperative evaluation due to her surgical history.

Observation:

  • The accident resulted in significant soft tissue and bone trauma.
  • Diagnostic imaging was performed to assess the patient's condition preoperatively.

Findings:

  • Transthoracic echocardiogram revealed a unique visualization of an ascending aortic traumatic pseudoaneurysm.
  • Transesophageal echocardiogram and cardiac catheterization further confirmed the presence of the pseudoaneurysm.

Implications:
