Abstract
Pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta is a rare complication after cardiac surgical procedures. This report illustrates a case of postsurgical pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta with ischemic clinical episodes due to compression of the right coronary artery. The patient underwent aortic and mitral valve replacement 6 years previously. The usefulness of echocardiography, computerized axial tomography and angiography is emphasized.
