Percutaneous Closure of Iatrogenic Ascending Aortic Pseudoaneurysms Following Surgical Aortic Repair

We present a case series of 4 iatrogenic ascending aortic pseudoaneurysms that were all successfully repaired with a percutaneous approach. Pre-procedural imaging, device selection, and procedural techniques are described. With careful preparation and patient selection, catheter closure of iatrogeni...

Description
Summary:We present a case series of 4 iatrogenic ascending aortic pseudoaneurysms that were all successfully repaired with a percutaneous approach. Pre-procedural imaging, device selection, and procedural techniques are described. With careful preparation and patient selection, catheter closure of iatrogenic ascending aortic pseudoaneurysms can be performed reliably and safely. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
