Introduction
Pseudoaneurysm of the aorta is a rare complication of cardiac surgery.
Approach to repair is largely patient dependent. We present a case in
which an aortic pseudoaneurysm developed following an aortic valve
replacement (AVR) complicated by deep sternal wound infection (DSWI).
This report was granted a waiver exemption by the Institutional Review
Board at the University of Virginia due to the anonymous nature of the
singleāpatient case report.
