3 Fig 2 (Patient 3) Computer reconstruction of thoracic computed tomographic scans. (AO = aorta; GR = cardiac graft; PS = pseudoaneurysm.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (99) )

4 Fig 3 (Patient 4) Postmortem evaluation. The thick-walled pseudoaneurysm (PS) originating at the suture line caused compression of the pulmonary artery (PA) and occupied part of the left atrium (LA). AO = aorta; L = leak. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (99) )

5 Fig 4 (Patient 4) Postmortem evaluation. View of leak (L) from inside aorta (AO). Note relationship with suture line (SL). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (99) )
