Abstract
Introduction: Ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm (AAP) rupture is a surgical emergency that needs immediate medical and surgical attention and treatment. This rupture can be caused by a variety of risk factors. Prior cardiovascular surgery is a common cause, and prior aortic valve operation is a rare cause. Case Presentation: In this case report, we describe a 47-year-old male with AAP who had a history of aortic valve replacement because of aortic stenosis.
