We report a case of fatal rupture of a false aneurysm of the ascending aorta during aortographic injection. The aneurysm had formed at the site of aortic cannulation done for a cardiac bypass at an earlier date. The rupture manifested as hemoptysis as the false aneurysm had burrowed and ruptured into the anterior segment of the right upper lobe of the lung.
