May support transapical closure in select high-risk cases; leaves open safety, efficacy, and generalizability pending prospective data.
Case Report (n=1)
Percutaneous transapical access provides a viable option for closing a giant left ventricular pseudoaneurysm in high-surgical-risk patients with mechanical prosthetic valves.
Sonawane et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Giant left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (n=1). Percutaneous transapical closure was evaluated. Percutaneous transapical access was successfully used for the interventional closure of a giant left ventricular pseudoaneurysm in a patient with mechanical prosthetic valves and high surgical risk.
