Spontaneously resolved pseudoaneurysm after valve-sparing aortic root replacement in Marfan syndrome: a case report

Pseudoaneurysm after valve-sparing aortic root replacement is uncommon but potentially life-threatening. We report an unusual case of spontaneous resolution of an aortic root pseudoaneurysm that developed in a 14-year-old boy with Marfan syndrome following valve-sparing aortic root replacement. This case suggests that, in carefully selected situations, non-surgical management with intensive follow-up may be beneficial.
