    Journal: Heart; 2005 Apr; 91(4):e29. PubMed ID: 15772178.
    Abstract:
    Pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta is a well known complication after aortic root surgery. A case of a large pseudoaneurysm is reported, seen as a superior vena cava syndrome, a very rare clinical presentation. Perioperative transoesophageal echocardiography showed the presence of a large pseudoaneurysm starting from the left coronary ostium implantation.
