Emergent percutaneous closure of sub-annular aortic root pseudoaneurysm in the setting of composite graft dehiscence: a case report.
Samuel D StephensonMichael GambillMatthew R SummersPublished in: European heart journal. Case reports (2023)
This case presents the first documented use of an Amplatzer Vascular Plug 2 to close an aortic root pseudoaneurysm in the sub-annular location. Heart team discussion is crucial in determining whether surgical or percutaneous treatment management should be performed. This case highlights a novel treatment method for sub-annular aortic root pseudoaneurysms which can be considered an alternative to surgery and potentially life-saving for high-risk patients.
