Abstract
Spontaneous rupture of an aortic aneurysm into the pulmonary artery is unusual and is rarely reported in the literature. The case of a patient with a syphilitic aneurysm of the ascending aorta perforated into the pulmonary artery is presented. In an attempt to define the best surgical treatment for this complication the literature has been comprehensively reviewed.Entities:
