Abstract :
Mycotic pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta is rare in patients undergoing coronary artery
bypass graft (CABG) and usually caused by staphylococcus aureus. We describe a patient with a mycotic
pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta at the proximal vein graft anastomosis site after CABG. Culture from
the sinus tract of the sternum and from the aneurysm sac was Klebsiella pneumoniae. Surgical technique was
patch repair of aorta under hypothermic circulatory arrest. He is asymptomatic at 24 months follow-up.
