Abstract:
:We present a 64-year-old woman who was brought to the emergency department after suffering a motor vehicle accident, involving multiple soft tissue and bone trauma. Even though she was free from cardiovascular symptoms for the last three years, her past medical history of aorto-coronary bypass surgery prompted preoperative consultation. The diagnostic images showed a unique visualization of an ascending aortic traumatic pseudoaneurysm by transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiogram as well as with cardiac catheterization.
