Abstract:
We describe two repeated operations to treat ascending aortic pseudoaneurysms. The first was emergency patch closure of the ascending aorta due to impending rupture 8 years after an operation for type I aortic dissection under hypothermic circulatory arrest. The second was endovascular repair using a fenestrated stent graft 7 years after coronary artery bypass grafting. No specific guidelines have been established regarding optimal management for such patients. We believe that individualized management is safer, especially for repeated operations.
