Abstract
A 69-year-old woman presented with chest pain and electrocardiographic evidence of subacute anterior ischaemia. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography allowed correct diagnosis of a posttraumatic pseudoaneurysm of the left sinus of Valsalva. The large pseudoaneurysm caused compression of the left main coronary artery and was successfully treated by aortic root replacement, left main coronary artery ligation, and arterial bypass.Entities:
