A Marfan patient presented with a bilobar apical pseudoaneurysm after repeated surgery. These abnormalities were demonstrated by three-dimensional-echo, Doppler, and CT-reconstruction. The pseudoaneurysm was related to an apical venting procedure. In this case, a conservative approach was chosen, although in general, pseudoaneurysms form an indication for operative correction, because of the risk of rupture and acute tamponade.
