Pseudoaneurysms of the ascending aorta pose a significant risk for free rupture during open aortic repair. This report describes the use of a modified thoracic aortic stent graft, delivered through transapical access, as a successful bridge to homograft replacement of the ascending aorta for the treatment of a mycotic ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm.
