Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia, 07/16/09
Misra S et al. - Pseudoaneurysm of the aorta is a rare but potentially fatal complication, with an incidence of one per cent following aortic surgery. A high index of suspicion and use of multiple imaging modalities is required for diagnosing pseudoaneurysm of the aorta as symptoms may be minimal or absent. Surgical intervention is justified in these cases due to a high risk of rupture. Intra-operative lung isolation by the use of double- lumen endotracheal tubes may be contemplated in case the aneurysm erodes lung parenchyma.
