It occurs either after some form of injury to aorta or after infectious pathology. Spontaneous pseudoaneuryms are very rare as are the extrinsic compression of left main coronary artery. We are presenting a case with both of these rare ties. Patient was a female of middle age presented with cough and a past history of treated pulmonary tuberculosis 12 years before. During evaluation by X-ray, CECT is a large pseudoaneurysm of ascending aorta with oval defect in posterior wall above sinotubular junction. It was compressing 90% of the left main coronary artery, occluding 100% of the right pulmonary artery with formation of collaterals to it from surrounding arteries. Active tuberculosis and syphilis were ruled out. Patient underwent excision of pseudoaneurysm, replacement of ascending aorta by Dacron graft and coronary artery bypass under TRCA and CPB. There was massive intraoperative bleeding, and patient died on the fourth day due to sepsis and ARDS.展开更多

Symptoms can worsen even more. We present here one such case where stenting done in some other institute in which we did an extra-anatomical bypass from ascending aorta to supracelial aorta successfully bypassing the coarct segment. This was an early approach without assistance of Cadio-pulmonary (CP) Bypass. We conclude that this procedure should be done in centres where experienced operator and cardiac surgery back up is present. This was a good approach without assistance of CP Bypass.展开更多
