ABSTRACT
Ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm following prior cardiac or aortic surgery is a rare entity that requires reoperation. Surgical repair is a complex procedure associated with high operative mortality. We report the case of a 76-year-old male patient with an ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm developing from distal anastomosis of a Dacron aorto-aortic prosthesis. This high-risk patient had previously undergone multiple cardiovascular operations and was treated by performing an extra-anatomic bypass between the descending thoracic aorta and supra-aortic vessels, followed by endovascular stent graft placement, avoiding median re-sternotomy.
