“…AAPs can occur after cardiac surgeries. 1 The operative strategy for the treatment of AAP is complicated and is determined by its position, size, and site of entry. Resternotomy is associated with the risk of aneurysmal rupture; therefore, EVT is sometimes considered and there have been some reports on EVT using TEVAR, vascular plug, or coils.…”

“…Ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm (AAP) is a rare disease occurring in patients with aortic trauma, infectious aortitis, or after cardiovascular surgery. 1 Sullivan and colleagues 2 reported the potential sites of AAPs. AAPs are often located posterior to the sternum, and patients with AAPs have other comorbidities.…”

“…Aortic pseudoaneurysms are noble incidents that can occur secondary to trauma, infection, or as a complication of cardiac surgery 11 , 12 ; chest and abdomen deceleration injury is the most common type of trauma. The exact mechanism of traumatic aortic injuries is complex; 2 popular theories include the “Whiplash” and the “osseous pinch” theory to reveal this phenomenon.…”

We present 2 rare cases of patients with uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock induced by traumatic ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm rupture into the esophagus.Two men were presented to the hospital after traffic accidents. Their chest radiograph showed no obvious signs of aortic damage or aortic pseudoaneurysms but only a small amount of high-density shadow in the mediastinum and no specific clinical signs besides chest tightness or chest tenderness. The first case was misdiagnosed as pulmonary contusion and pleural effusion, and the second case was misdiagnosed as mediastinal lesions in the mediastina. They were given symptomatic and supportive treatment. Unfortunately, they died suddenly after >1 month of traumatic accident.At autopsy, ascending aortic pseudoaneurysms that broke into the esophagus and multiple organ hematocele were detected by gross examination. In histopathological examination, inflammatory cells and proliferated fibrous connective tissue were detected in the ascending aortic pseudoaneurysms, and the pathological gastrointestinal bleeding was not seen. The drugs and poisons were not found on toxicological analysis.The 2 patients died as a result of hemorrhagic shock from traumatic ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm rupture into the esophagus. We suggest that thoracic surgeon should be aware of the possibility of aortic injury after chest trauma to reduce misdiagnosis and prevent similar accidents.
