Pseudoaneurysm of ascending aorta is potentially fatal but well-recognized and infrequent complication after cardiac surgeries. The presentation can be varied and may develop early as in our case or may develop even after years. Our patient had VSD closure along with RV band Resection four month earlier to the development of pseudoaneurym. Transcatheter device closure was performed with 24mm atrial setal occluder without any procedural complication. To the best of our knowledge this is the largest device ever used for closure of post surgical pseudoaneurysm.
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.
