  • Title: Late pseudoaneurysm formation after repair of the descending aorta.
    Author: Schmuziger M, Schneider PA, Bouchardy L, Simonet F, Christenson JT.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Surg; 1998 Jun; 6(3):307-11. PubMed ID: 9705105.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of a 71-year-old hypertensive female patient presenting with haemoptysis and retrosternal pain from a leaking pseudo-aneurysm associated with a Dacron onlay patch used to repair a coarctation of the aorta 27 years earlier. This case illustrates a late and potentially fatal complication of this type of operation and describes a recent technique to reach the exact diagnosis and location of the aneurysm.
