Pseudoaneurysm of the thoracic aorta is a rare condition associated with high mortality. We present a case of a patient who developed a huge pseudoaneurysm 10 years after the Bentall procedure and one aorto-coronary bypass while simultaneously being COVID-19 positive.

After treating pneumonia, the surgery was successfully performed with suturing two defects in the aortic conduit. It is a unique case report where the patient survived two life-threatening conditions.
