Özet
Big pseudoaneurysms of the ascending aorta after a previous thoracic operation are rare and represent a surgical challenge. Because the rupture during sternal reentry occurs before the clamp-control of the distal ascending aorta, it is essential to control the bleeding until the adhesions are released in order to place the sternal retractor. We report the use of Foley catheter with a malleable guidewire to control the bleeding from the defect in the ascending aorta causing a pseudoaneurysm in case of a limited access.
