Abstract
Pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta is rare but life-threatening. We
report a case of a primary pseudoaneurysm originating from the ascending
aorta that recurred six months after surgical treatment, and the patient
eventually died of shock due to a rupture of the pseudoaneurysm.
Furthermore, to the best of our knowledge this is the first reported
case of Relapse of ascending aorta pseudoaneurysm to pulmonary
arteriovenous fistula after first resection.In this article, we aim to
provide detailed information on the different etiologies and
presentations of pseudoaneurysms of the ascending aorta, highlighting
the possibility and severity of pseudoaneurysms occurring in young
patients.
