  • Title: Pseudoaneurysm formation with superior vena caval syndrome 7 years after aortic composite graft placement.
    Author: McFalls EO, Palac R, Gately H, Floten HS.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1989 Nov; 48(5):704-5. PubMed ID: 2818063.
    Abstract:
    With the advent of the composite graft for combined aortic valve and ascending aortic root operations, post-operative bleeding complications have been reduced. Hemorrhage along the suture sites may occur as a late complication and rarely may originate from the coronary-aortic graft junction. We report a case of a massive pseudoaneurysm, seen as "superior vena caval syndrome," 7 years after operation.
