Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Pseudoaneurysms of thoracic aorta represent life-threatening complications of cardiac surgery. We present a case report of a patient who underwent urgent aortic valvular replacement with a biological prosthesis and ascending aortic replacement with graft interposition and developed postoperative ascending aortic pseudoaneurysms. The pseudoaneurysms did not increase in the postoperative stay and a conservative management was chosen. At follow-up, the two pseudoaneurysms had completely regressed. The therapeutic steps for aortic pseudoaneurysms should be tailored to the patient and even conservative management could be effective if selected after an evaluation of the clinical status of the patient. |
