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 single‐patient case report.
