Outcomes of heart transplant patients diagnosed with ascending aortic mycotic pseudoaneurysms. Based on literature review, almost two-thirds of heart transplant patients recovered after treatment of their ascending aortic mycotic pseudoaneurysms. A sixth of patients died due to the pseudoaneurysm itself, an eighth of them suffered recurrence, while one fifteenth of patients died due to an unrelated cause. Among patients with recurrent pseudoaneurysms, ratio of recovery, pseudoaneurysm-related death and unrelated death was equal (49 cases reviewed, missing data in 4 cases)
