Thoracic Aortic Pseudoaneurysms

Axial, Sagital and VR images. Post contrast CT Aorta. 

This patient had recent cardiac valve replacement at another hospital and presented to the ED with increasing chest pain.  There are 2 small pseudoaneurysms in the anterior ascending aorta possibly at the sites of prior canulation for cardiac bypass (red arrows).  There is hematoma in the anterior mediastinum (white arrow).
