RESUMO
We demonstrated an endovascular technique excluding an ascending aorta pseudoaneurysm using an aortic extension. A 32-year-old woman, 3 years after lung transplantation with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation presented with an ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm. Vascular surgery was consulted after open repair was deemed high risk. An aortic extension stent graft was placed in a hybrid operating room with the aid of intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography. Ascending aorta pseudoaneurysms are complex and life-threatening complications. Traditional repair involves high surgical and anesthetic risks whereas endovascular treatment is technically feasible.
