Ann Thorac Surg. 2002 Jul;74(1):268-70. doi: 10.1016/s0003-4975(02)03543-9.

Abstract

Coronary pseudoaneurysms are a known complication of the Bentall wrap-inclusion method of composite valve grafting. We describe two cases to illustrate a straightforward technique for repair and prevention of coronary pseudoaneurysm formation.
