Here, we present a case of pseudoaneurysm of the aorta, 2 years after double valve replacement (DVR) in an 18-year-old male patient presented with a pulsatile swelling over the sternum. The pseudoaneurysm of the aorta extending up to the skin 2 years after cardiac surgery is a rare condition. Most cases are asymptomatic and need emergency surgery.
