Pseudoaneurysm formation between ascending aorta and main pulmonary artery following ventricular septal defect patch dehiscence

Abstract

Complications of ventricular septal defect (VSD) repair include arrhythmias, tricuspid valve insufficiency, and residual shunt. We are presenting a unique and extremely rare complication of rupture of VSD patch, leading to the formation of pseudoaneurysm between the ascending aorta and main pulmonary artery following VSD patch closure.
