Introduction
Ascending aorta pseudoaneurysm (AAP) is a rare and high mortality
complication of cardiac surgery (1, 2). Some predisposing factors are
leakage by cannulation sites, suture lines, aortic grafts anastomosis,
and infections (2). The most conventional management is surgery (3).
Some authors had proposed alternative options such as grafts, vascular
plugs, stents, coil embolization, and thrombin injection (3–5). We
report the case of a ten-year-old male who had a pseudoaneurysm of
ascending aorta after orthotopic heart transplantation and was treated
successfully with endovascular stents placement.
