Excerpt

Previous cardiac surgery is the most frequent cause of aortic pseudoaneurysms. The incidence <0.5% of all cardiac surgical cases [4]. In pediatric patients, pseudoaneurysm is mainly traumatic [3]. To the best of our knowledge, this may be the first case of pseudoaneurysm occurring after aortic valve surgery in a child. Pseudoaneurysms are usually formed at the site of aortic cannulation, aortotomy, or anastomoses. They can be lethal because they are prone to rupture, thrombosis, and fistula formation. Percutaneous approach to closure of large ascending pseudoaneurysms has been described using Amplatzer device, but surgical repair remains the “gold standard” for treatment [2]. …
