Abstract:
We describe a 48-year-old man with aorto-pseudoaneurysm-ventricular regurgitation. It was due to disruption of both proximal and distal anastomoses after aortic root replacement for detachment of a prosthetic valve implanted for a sinus of Valsalva aneurysm with aortic valve regurgitation. The chest was opened during cardiopulmonary bypass using a deep hypothermic circulatory arrest to avoid rupture of the aneurysm because of a close relation between the pseudoaneurysm and the sternum. Aortic root re-replacement was performed successfully.
