Abstract :
Aortic pseudoaneurysm is most commonly seen as a complication of ascending aorta replacement, appearing several
years after the operation (1). Pseudoaneurysm after cardiac
catheterization, on the other hand, is very unusual. We present
a rare case of successful management of a myocardial infarction caused by aortic pseudoaneurysm more than 50 years after
surgical closure of a ventricular septal defect.
