LVOT pseudoaneurysm: a late complication of extended aortic root replacement

Ann Thorac Surg. 1996 Oct;62(4):1198-9. doi: 10.1016/0003-4975(96)85162-9.

Abstract

The aortic allograft has become a valuable tool for repair of complex left ventricular outflow tract defects. These operations can be performed with low morbidity and mortality; however, complications do occur. In this report, we describe a pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricular outflow tract-homograft anastomosis that presented 3 years after extended aortic root replacement.
