Surgical Treatment of Pseudoaneurysm of the Ascending Aorta in a Patient with Sepsis

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Abstract

Pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta (PAA) is a hazardous and potentially fatal cardiovascular disease. This condition is caused by the rupture of at least one layer of the vessel and contained by the remaining vascular layers or the surrounding mediastinal structures. We presented the surgical treatment of a patient with sepsis and large PAA and brachiocephalic trunk, which was compressing the brachiocephalic trunk leading to syncope.
