Aneurysm and pseudoaneurysm development is a known, albeit uncommon, complication after right ventricular outflow tract surgical reconstruction. Large right ventricular outflow tract aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms have not been extensively described in recent literature and we report our experience with this unusual complication in five patients at our institution over the last 8 years. Although uncommon, this complication has potentially important clinical implications. Thus, clinicians should be aware of its potential, particularly in certain anatomic conditions.
右心室流出道手术后，动脉瘤和假性动脉瘤的发展是一种已知但不常见的并发症。最近的文献中没有广泛描述大型右心室流出道动脉瘤和假性动脉瘤，我们报告了过去 8 年来我们机构 5 例患者的这种罕见并发症的经验。尽管不常见，但这种并发症具有重要的临床意义。因此，临床医生应该意识到其潜在的可能性，特别是在某些解剖条件下。
