    Abstract:
    A 60-year-old man who had received aortic valve replacement for aortic regurgitation at 47 years of age developed sudden syncope and shock on Mar. 28, 1991. Close examination including CT scan and aortography revealed DeBakey type I aortic dissection with giant pseudoaneurysm which compressed superior vena cava and right pulmonary artery and caused superior vena cava syndrome. He underwent elective ascending aortic replacement under profound hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass and circulatory arrest on Jun. 17, 1991. The giant pseudoaneurysm was present posterolaterally to the ascending aorta. It communicated with the false lumen and contained massive thrombi. The intimal tear of the ascending aorta existed along the suture line of previous aortotomy.
