| description | Abstract Background Mycotic pseudoaneurysms of the ascending aorta are a rare and devastating complication of previous cardiac surgery. Case presentation We present an unusual case of a fungal mycotic pseudoaneurysm secondary to an aortic suture line successfully repaired under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. Conclusions Patients with mycotic pseudoaneurysms of the aorta require a multidisciplinary team approach to prevent devastating complications that may occur in these complex surgical cases. |
