  • Title: Mycotic pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta at site of aortic cannulation.
    Author: Gabbieri D, Dohmen PM, Linneweber J, Lembcke A, von Heymann C, Konertz WF.
    Journal: Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann; 2008 Apr; 16(2):e15-7. PubMed ID: 18381859.
    Abstract:
    Reoperation for pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta presents a surgical challenge. Instituting femorofemoral bypass and establishing hypothermic circulatory arrest is a well-known strategy, although not free from complications. We report a case of mycotic pseudoaneurysm after coronary artery bypass in a 53-year-old man, at the site of previous aortic cannulation, and review the surgical strategies proposed to manage this pathologic entity.
