  • Title: Staphylococcal aortic pseudoaneurysm. Treatment employing ascending aorta-abdominal aorta bypass graft.
    Author: Liotta D, Donato FO, Bertolozzi E.
    Journal: Chest; 1977 Aug; 72(2):243-5. PubMed ID: 884992.
    Abstract:
    An adult patient developed infection of the anastomosis after resection of an isthmic coarctation, with subsequent formation of a pseudoaneurysm. He was treated successfully by an ascending aorta-abdominal aorta bypass graft. The graft was placed retrosternally and passed through the diaphragm into the retroperitoneal space. After surgery the patient developed systolic hypertension. A faint murmur was heard over the chest and abdomen, caused by the turbulent flow through the graft.
