Case presentation shows successful device closure of ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm, indicating new treatment options.
Iatrogenic ascending aortic pseudoaneurysms are a rare but life-threatening complication of reconstructive cardiovascular surgery. Such aneurysms can result in rupture, thrombosis, or distal embolization. Surgical repair of such pseudoaneurysms is associated with high morbidity and mortality. We present a rare case of device closure of saccular pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta in a patient with valve-sparing Bentall surgery for acute type A aortic dissection.
