ABSTRACT
Thoracic aortic pseudoaneurysm caused by Brucella melitensis is extremely rare with extremely few cases reported to date. Herein, we present the case of a 65 year-old man with a huge pseudoaneurysm of the proximal descending thoracic aorta, involving the left subclavian artery and distal arch. Surgery was performed to replace the proximal descending aorta with a self-made bovine pericardial duct and the left subclavian artery with a 10 mm artificial vessel under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest; the patient recovered uneventfully. However, continued follow-up is required for long-term results.
