    Journal: Pediatr Cardiol; 2003; 24(1):89-91. PubMed ID: 12399902.
    Abstract:
    We describe a successfully treated pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta in a 2-month-old infant after a previous operation due to hypoplastic left heart complex. After a rapidly progressing respiratory tract obstruction as a first symptom, echocardiography revealed a huge aneurysmal formation originating from the anterior and right lateral wall of the ascending aorta. A patch aortoplasty was employed.
