The emergence of endovascular techniques has enabled minimally invasive options for repair and salvage of postoperative sequelae from complex aortic operations. There have been few reports of percutaneous transcatheter repair of aortic pseudoaneurysms after composite aortic root replacement with reports of only two patients with follow-up longer than two years. We report a case of a 35 year man who developed an aortic root pseudoaneurysm following a composite aortic root replacement and was successfully managed by transcatheter repair using an Amplatzer Septal Occluder without evidence of recurrence at two year follow-up.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
