Is percutaneous closure a feasible treatment option for cardiac and aortic pseudoaneurysms?
Percutaneous closure of cardiac and aortic pseudoaneurysms appears to be a feasible alternative to high-risk reoperative surgery, provided careful anatomical assessment is performed.
Kumar et al. (2012) conducted a case report in Cardiac and aortic pseudoaneurysms (n=9). Percutaneous closure (septal occluder, vascular plug, or coil embolization) was evaluated. Percutaneous closure using septal occluders, vascular plugs, or coils was described as a feasible treatment approach in a review of 9 cases of cardiac and aortic pseudoaneurysms.
