Transcatheter closure of left ventricular pseudoaneurysms is a feasible alternative to surgery in high-risk patients when guided by multimodality imaging.
May support consideration in select high-risk cases; leaves open need for comparative trials and long-term outcomes.
Transcatheter closure of the left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a feasible alternative for high-risk surgical candidates. The use of multiple imaging modalities is required for a detail planning and execution of the procedure.
