Percutaneous closure of aortic pseudoaneurysm in a young female with atrial septal occluder.


ABSTRACT: This case report represents a novel technique for the treatment of a pseudoaneurysm of the aorta. Pseudoaneurysm of the aorta has been reported in patients post heart surgery. This case report is about a patient who had a pseudoaneurysm most probably following tuberculosis. Traditionally, the treatment of choice is surgical correction; however, in the current era, there are case reports describing the use of either stent grafts or Amplatzer occluders for occlusion of the pseudoaneurysm in high-risk surgical cases. We performed successful closure of the aortic pseudoaneurysm using atrial septal occluder. .
