Fig. 1

Transthoracic echocardiography examination: (a) the clear presence of the ascending aortic aneurysm (6.87 cm); (b–d) massive pericardial tumoral mass compressing the right atrium. Abbreviations: LA—left atrium; LV—left ventricle; MV—mitral valve; RA—right atrium; RV—right ventricle; SVC—superior vena cava; TV—tricuspid valve; AoV — aortic valve; AscAo — ascending aorta.

Emblematic thoraco-abdominal CT scans. In the coronal and sagittal scans ((a) and (b), respectively), the presence of an ascending aortic aneurysm, hematoma, and compression on RA, SVC, and IVC can be observed. (c) Compression of RA; (d) compression of SVC and RPA (axial CCTA scans). Abbreviations: AscAo—ascending aorta; IVC—inferior vena cava; LV—left ventricle; PA—main pulmonary artery; RA—right atrium; RPA—right pulmonary artery; SVC—superior vena cava.

Intraoperative images. (a) Post-sternotomy, the ascending aortic aneurysm was revealed; (b) the chronic pericardial hematoma; (c) the ascending aorta replaced with a 30 mm-diameter vascular graft; (d) the final result.
