  • Contemporary experience of percutaneous management of complex aortic and ventricular pseudoaneurysms associated to perivalvular leak: A case series and review of literature

    Abstract

    Background

    Percutaneous closure of aortic and ventricular pseudoaneurysms (PSA) has only been reported on a case report and series basis. In previous case reports, percutaneous closure has been performed successfully in patients of prohibitive surgical risk. This case series aims to show feasibility of percutaneous closure of aortic and ventricular pseudoaneurysm secondary to perivalvular leak (PVL) in a small patient population and the utility of multimodality imaging as an integral tool in procedural planning. This is the largest complex case series to date describing the feasibility and success rate of complex PSA closure, with a follow-up period of up to 4 years.
