Fig 1 Computed tomography scan shows recurrent mycotic ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm measuring 8.2 cm in diameter 2 months after open repair with Dacron patch. Journal of Vascular Surgery 2004 40, 567-570DOI: (10.1016/j.jvs.2004.04.022)
Fig 2 Transesophageal echocardiogram shows ascending aorta in longitudinal axis. Color Doppler scan demonstrates flow into ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm (AAP) in close proximity to aortic valve (AV). Journal of Vascular Surgery 2004 40, 567-570DOI: (10.1016/j.jvs.2004.04.022)
Fig 3 Initial magnetic resonance angiogram (MRA) (left), MRA at 2-month follow-up (middle), and MRA at 7-month follow-up (right) reveal total resolution of ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm. Journal of Vascular Surgery 2004 40, 567-570DOI: (10.1016/j.jvs.2004.04.022)
