Effective Coiling of a Post-surgical Aortic Pseudoaneurysm

Abstract

A 45 years old man underwent a surgical replacement of ascending aorta and aortic arch for a type A aortic dissection. A 3 months CT follow-up documented a significant pseudoaneurysm close to the aortic root. A percutaneous intervention was successfully performed with the deployment of four Penumbra Coil inside the pseudoaneurysm, ensuring a proper exclusion as highlighted in long-term CT follow-up.
