P
Population
A 77-year-old man with a noninfected mechanical mitral valve and a pseudoaneurysm of the mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa.
I
Intervention
Transapical closure of the pseudoaneurysm using an occluder device
O
Outcome
Successful closure of the defect upon follow-up imagingsurrogate
Percutaneous closure of a pseudoaneurysm of the mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa via a transapical approach is a viable alternative to high-risk open-heart surgery.
Cite This Study
Babaliaros et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Pseudoaneurysm of the mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa (n=1). Transapical closure using an occluder device was evaluated on Defect closure on follow-up imaging. Transapical closure using an occluder device successfully repaired a pseudoaneurysm of the mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa in a 77-year-old man.
