Cover image supplied by Farhood Saremi and Michael Fong, from the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, USA, and Jagat Narula, from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY, USA. This computed tomography image shows the rare finding of a pseudoaneurysm in the ascending aorta, caused by a leak at the outflow graft of a left ventricular assist device. The device was implanted in the patient as a bridge to heart transplantation. No evidence of mycotic infection was found after the image was taken.
