Pseudoaneurysm of an aortic homograft

Gonçalo F Coutinho et al. Ann Thorac Surg. 2006 Dec.

Abstract

False aneurysms of the thoracic aorta constitute one of the most challenging problems encountered by the cardiac surgeon. We report a case of successful reoperation for a giant pseudoaneurysm of an aortic homograft, previously used in the context of postpartum acute endocarditis of the aortic valve.
