Symptomatic Distal Anastomotic Pseudo-aneurysm After the Bentall Procedure Successfully Treated by Supra-aortic Trunk Debranching and Zone 0 Thoracic Endovascular Aneurysm Repair

Post-operative anastomotic pseudo-aneurysms are rare but potentially lethal complications after the Bentall procedure. When symptomatic or ruptured, expedited repair is warranted, and open surgery may carry significant bleeding risk, particularly when these lesions project anteriorly. As totally endovascular techniques are frequently limited owing to hostile anatomies, complex hybrid interventions are an alternative option in such scenarios.
