Abstract
A 34-year-old HIV-positive black man with pulmonary tuberculosis developed progressive widening of the mediastinum. Evaluation by CT and two-dimensional echocardiography demonstrated a large saccular aneurysm of the ascending aorta. This was repaired with a 26-mm aortic homograft using deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. The microbiology of the aneurysm contents showed this to be a tuberculous pseudoaneurysm.
