Infection in the vascular tree has been proved to be one of the greatest challenges for cardiovascular surgeons. Of these, mycotic aneurysms of the ascending aorta were considered to be almost always lethal until recently. A thorough survey of the literature indicates that only 42 cases of mycotic aneurysm of the ascending aorta have been reported. All the reported cases of mycotic aneurysm of the ascending aorta were a single lesion in the ascending aorta except a case reported in 1993. This report describes an additional case of double mycotic aneurysms of the ascending aorta caused by Pseudomonas infection.
血管系统感染已被证明是心血管外科医生面临的最大挑战之一。其中，升主动脉霉菌性动脉瘤直到最近一直被认为几乎总是致命的。对文献的全面调查表明，仅报道过42例升主动脉霉菌性动脉瘤。除了1993年报道的1例病例外，所有已报道的升主动脉霉菌性动脉瘤病例均为升主动脉的单一病变。本报告描述了另一例由铜绿假单胞菌感染引起的升主动脉双霉菌性动脉瘤病例。
