A 74-years-old man with a history of ascendant aortic dissection repaired 5 years ago and two mayor episodes of intrathoracic infection needing long-term antibiotic treatment, came to the ER for a presternal tumor. CT scan detected a preaortic mass suggestive of an aortic pseudoaneurysm. Surgery was planned but cancelled for mild respiratory infection, acute renal and hepatic failure, needing ICU admittance. In the ICU, the patient at physical exploration neck engorgement and pulsatility stood up (video 1). Vascular and cardiac bedside ultrasound showed a reversed systolic flow in the jugular veins (video 2) and a severe triscuspid regurgitation (video 3) secondary to pulmonary hypertension due to extrinsic compression of the psedoaneurysm over the pulmonary artery (white arrow in Fig. 1). The patient rejected aggressive treatment and passed away 2 days later.
