Implication

May support transaortic closure in prohibitive-risk patients; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.

Structured PICO

Population

1 61-year-old patient with a large aortic pseudoaneurysm 5 years after aortic valve surgery and dilated cardiomyopathy.

Intervention

Transcatheter direct transaortic approach using an Amplatzer septal occlusion device and coils, guided by triple fusion multimodality imaging (CT, echocardiography, fluoroscopy).

Outcome

Complete exclusion of the aortic pseudoaneurysm assessed by post-procedural transoesophageal echocardiogram and CT angiography.surrogate

A direct transaortic approach guided by triple fusion multimodality imaging is a feasible option for closing aortic pseudoaneurysms in patients with prohibitive surgical risk.
