RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Mycotic pseudoaneurysms of the ascending aorta are a rare and devastating complication of previous cardiac surgery. CASE PRESENTATION: We present an unusual case of a fungal mycotic pseudoaneurysm secondary to an aortic suture line successfully repaired under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with mycotic pseudoaneurysms of the aorta require a multidisciplinary team approach to prevent devastating complications that may occur in these complex surgical cases.
