Ventricular pseudoaneurysm, Cardiac surgery complication.Abstract
The occurrence of pseudoaneurysm in non-ischemic and non-manipulated areas during cardiac surgery is unknown. We report a case of a 63 year old man who underwent Bentall surgery. The echocardiographic control demonstrated a cavity and a systolic fl ow next to the apex suggesting a new pseudoaneurysm. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance and computerized tomography confi rmed an apical pseudoaneurysm and the presence of surgical material in the epicardium. We hypothesize that hypothermia during surgery might have increased the stiff ness of the extracorporeal circulation cannula causing the injury in this area.
