Mycotic pseudoaneurysm of the aorta is a rare and lethal complication of pediatric congenital heart surgery. We report the lethal consequences of recurrent mycotic pseudoaneurysm in an 18-month-old baby, early after subaortic membrane resection. We managed to repair the pseudoaneurysm successfully by replacing the infected ascending aorta using bovine jugular vein graft, but unfortunately, the patient developed new pseudoaneurysm at the site of anastomosis which led to his death.
