Figure 1. Three-dimensional reconstruction of aorta in computed tomography angiography. Pseudoaneurysm marked with white arrow. Antero-posterior view of the ascending aorta after the sternum and ribs were digitally removed. The highly calcified right coronary artery is located about 3 mm below the ascending aorta rupture (yellow arrow). This is where the pseudoaneurysm (white arrow) formed. The ascending aorta replaced with a graft is marked with the blue arrow. The green arrow points to the pseudoaneurysm stemming from the ascending aorta/anastomosis rupture. Pictures obtained from computed tomography (CT) scanner, General Electric Health Care Discovery CT750 HD.
