David Saul, Vinay Kandula, Achala Donuru, Christian Pizarro, Mary Patricia HartyAnnals of Pediatric Cardiology 2022 15(3):314-316 An 11-year-old male with Marfan's syndrome and aortic root dilatation underwent an uneventful Bentall procedure to replace his aortic root and valve. Five months later, surveillance echocardiogram revealed a slowly enlarging pseudoaneurysm arising from the ascending aorta. This finding was subsequently confirmed by computed tomographic angiogram. The patient had successful open surgical repair and paraaortic hematoma evacuation.
