Background:
We report successful treatment of a patient 6 years after ascending aorta and aortic valve replacement suffering from a combination of two pseudoaneurysms. The first of them originated from the coronary ostial suture line and the second pseudoaneurysm originated from the distal suture line.
Methods:
We performed re-replantation of the left main trunk to the prosthesis and then we resected the pseudoaneurysm originating from the distal suture line and we replaced the entire aorta by a vascular graft.
Results:
The postoperative convalescence was uneventful, the patient was discharged two weeks after the surgery. The patient is currently in a very good condition one year after the surgery.
Conclusions:
Coronary ostial pseudoaneurysm in patients after ascending aorta and aortic valve replacement with the use of "button technique" is a quite rare situation. The combination of two pseudoaneurysms originating from different suture lines in one patient seems to be unique in literature reviews.
