Abstract
An anastomotic pseudoaneurysm after the aortic replacement surgery is a rare complication which could be lethal when it ruptures. So it should be corrected whenever it is found after the aortic surgery. The authors performed three surgical corrections in 2 cases. The first case is type 8 chronic aortic dissection with abdominal aortic aneurysm. After an abdominal aortic replacement, the patient developed an anastomotic pseudoaneurysm. We treated him with a thoracoabdominal aortic replacement. The second case is ruputred throacoabdominal aortic aneurysm. After a thoracoabdominal aortic replacement, the patient developed an anastomotic pseudoaneurysm in the proximal anastomosis. We treated her with aortic arch replacement. But She developed another pseudoaneurysm in the aortic root anastomotic site. So we performed secondary operation to reinforce the anastomosis. They all recovered from the operations without any complication and are being followed up.
