Abdominal Stent-Graft Treatment of Ascending Aortic Pseudoaneurysm Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Abstract

An ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm is a potentially lethal complication in aortic procedures. We present a hybrid approach using surgical innominate artery access and the endovascular insertion of an abdominal stent-graft extension to successfully treat a zone 0 ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm in a patient with a prior valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
