Key result
A 47-year-old male with an ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm following previous aortic valve replacement was successfully treated with surgical replacement of the ascending aortic root using a fibular graft.
Why the study?
Ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm rupture is a surgical emergency, and prior aortic valve operation is a rare cause.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm is a rare but life-threatening complication that can occur after aortic valve replacement, requiring prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention.
Supports feasibility of fibular graft in rare post-AVR pseudoaneurysm; hypothesis-generating and leaves open need for validation.
Introduction: Ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm (AAP) rupture is a surgical emergency that needs immediate medical and surgical attention and treatment. This rupture can be caused by a variety of risk factors. Prior cardiovascular surgery is a common cause, and prior aortic valve operation is a rare cause. Case Presentation: In this case report, we describe a 47-year-old male with AAP who had a history of aortic valve replacement because of aortic stenosis.

Razeghi et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm (n=1). Surgical replacement of the ascending aortic root with a fibular graft was evaluated on Surgical outcome. A 47-year-old male with an ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm following previous aortic valve replacement was successfully treated with surgical replacement of the ascending aortic root using a fibular graft.
