Se presenta un caso de seudoaneurisma aórtico arteriosclerótico no fistulizado ni Asurado en un paciente con hemoptisis masiva. La resección fue resolutiva y la brecha se reparó con parche de Dacrón. La tomografía axial computarizada (TAC) hizo sospechar el diagnóstico de seudoaneurisma de aorta trombosado, que se visualiza en la angiografía digital y en la aortografía. En la literatura aparecen 89 casos de aneurismas aórticos torácicos no disecantes con hemoptisis objetivándose 72 fístulas aortobronquiales. Sólo en un caso se describe integridad de la pared aneurismática, sin fisura o rotura, a pesar de la hemoptisis. La ausencia de observación de fisura o rotura en nuestro caso puede explicarse por el retraso de 10 días desde el último episodio hemoptoico hasta la resección quirúrgica.

We present a case of non-fistulated, non-fissured arteriosclorotic pseudoaneurysm of the aorta in a patient with massive hemoptysis. The condition was resolved by resection, with the breach repaired with a Dacron patch. The diagnosis of thrombotic false aneurysm of the aorta was suspected after inspection of the digital angiograph and aortograph obtained by computed axial tomography. A review of the literature revealed 89 cases of non-surgically removable thoracic aortic aneurysm with hemoptysis; 72 of these cases involved aortobronchial fístulas. In only 1 case was the wall of the aneurysm intact, showing no fissures in spite of hemoptysis. The absence of fissuring or tearing in our patient may be accounted for by the delay of 10 days between the last bout of hemoptysis and surgical resection.
