A 31 year-old male patient underwent surgical treatment of the pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta complicating after the Bentall operation. He had undergone the replacement of the ascending aorta using the composite valved graft with direct coronary reimplantation under the diagnosis of the annuloaortic ectasia of ascending aorta associate; d with Marfan syndrome.
Eleven months after the operation, he started to feel dyspnea and anterior chest pain, and was diagnosed as pseudoaneurysm around the ascending aortic graft.
The second operation consisted of the dacron patch closure of the defect of the aortic graft which was the hole for previous coronary reimplantation, and the anastomosis between the coronary orifice and the aortic graft with the intermediate graft of a lOmm woven dacron tube, and suture closure of the fistula opening from the aneurysm.
His postoperative course was uneventful and discharged without complication. He is doing well 10 months postoperatively.
