Fig 2 (Patient 3) Computer reconstruction of thoracic computed tomographic scans. (AO = aorta; GR = cardiac graft; PS = pseudoaneurysm.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 1999 68, 105-111DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(99)00471-3)
Fig 3 (Patient 4) Postmortem evaluation. The thick-walled pseudoaneurysm (PS) originating at the suture line caused compression of the pulmonary artery (PA) and occupied part of the left atrium (LA). AO = aorta; L = leak. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 1999 68, 105-111DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(99)00471-3)
