Pseudoaneurysms of the ascending aorta are relatively uncommon compared with those evolving from the left ventricle. In a young man with endocarditis of the aortic valve who developed a pseudoaneurysm arising from the ascending aorta, the diagnosis was established with the pulsed Doppler technique and cross sectional echocardiography by passing the Doppler sample from the aorta through the neck of the false aneurysm into the large pseudoaneurysm. Aortic root angiography showed this connexion to be a small fistula between the aorta and right atrium. Necropsy findings confirmed the diagnosis.
与源于左心室的假性动脉瘤相比，升主动脉假性动脉瘤相对少见。在一名患有主动脉瓣心内膜炎并发生升主动脉假性动脉瘤的年轻男性患者中，通过将多普勒取样容积从主动脉经假性动脉瘤颈部送入大的假性动脉瘤内，利用脉冲多普勒技术和横截面超声心动图得以确诊。主动脉根部血管造影显示这种连接是主动脉与右心房之间的一个小瘘管。尸检结果证实了诊断。
