Abstract

The ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication, it requires urgent surgical resolution due to the imminent life risk. It can occur from  trauma, after cardiac surgery or infectious processes. We presented a 52-year-old woman who was admitted from another center due to a lower  myocardial infarction, after performing a coronary angiography with apparent clinical improvement, she presented chest pain and a echocardiographic image of aortic root dissection and required emergency surgery.
