A 37-year-old female with a history of Takayasu arteritis was admitted for repair of a descending thoracic aortic aneurysm with penetrating ulcer and left ventricular outflow track (LVOT) pseudoaneurysm. A unique regurgitant jet was subsequently identified by transesophageal echocardiography after induction of anesthesia and endotracheal intubation.
