    Author: Raffa GM, Malvindi PG, Ornaghi D, Basciu A, Barbone A, Tarelli G, Settepani F.
    Journal: J Cardiovasc Med (Hagerstown); 2013 Aug; 14(8):593-6. PubMed ID: 22499001.
    Abstract:
    Postsurgical aortic false aneurysm occurs in less than 0.5% of all cardiac surgical cases and its management is a challenge in terms of preoperative evaluation and surgical approach. Although infections are well recognized as risk factors, technical aspects of a previous operation may have a role in pseudoaneurysm formation. The risk factors and clinical presentation of pseudoaneurysms and the surgical strategy are revisited in this article.
