Very large aortic pseudoaneurysm repair using a septal occluder

Abstract

A 63-year-old man, with previous coronary artery bypass surgery presented with infectious aortitis and a large ascending aorta pseudoaneurysm, causing compression of the left internal mammary graft. Percutaneous intervention with stenting of the graft followed by closure of the pseudoaneurysm using an atrial septal defect occluder was successfully carried out.
