We report a patient presenting with a pseudo-aneurysm arising from the extra-cardiac conduit and dehisced intra-cardiac patch following the Rastelli procedure. Since the aneurysm was adherent to the sternum, re-operation was facilitated by establishing extra-thoracic cardio-pulmonary bypass and hypo...
