NCS can be classified into anterior and posterior types regarding the origin of LRV compression: anterior NCS occurs when LRV is compressed between the aorta and superior mesenteric artery, whereas posterior NCS involves LRV compression between the aorta and the spine. Despite advancements in diagnostic modalities, including Doppler ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and invasive techniques like phlebography, there is still no globally accepted diagnostic algorithm, leading to inconsistencies in diagnosis. Moreover, due to the lack of standardized treatment guidelines, the optimal management of anterior NCS remains a topic of debate. While conservative management is usually recommended in the pediatric population, invasive treatments-including surgical options like LRV transposition and renal autotransplantation, as well as interventional radiology procedures like stenting, present challenges such as stent migration, restenosis, and long-term material durability. Nevertheless, the emergence of 3D-printed stents offers potential improvements in patient-specific treatment, particularly in the pediatric population, yet their clinical efficacy and safety remain under investigation.

The choice of approach depends on whether a 4-Fr catheter can be advanced into the pseudoaneurysm cavity. If feasible, the PseuSeal Snare is selected; otherwise, the PseuSeal Rendezvous is employed. In the PseuSeal Snare, a snare is deployed from a 4-Fr catheter within the pseudoaneurysm cavity. An 18-gauge needle is then used to retrogradely puncture the snare loop. A 0.035-inch guidewire is passed through the needle lumen, captured by the snare, and externalized. In the PseuSeal Rendezvous, an 18-gauge needle retrogradely punctures the guidewire within the cavity, and the guidewire is advanced into the needle lumen for externalization. After externalizing the guidewire in both approaches, an ExoSeal-specific sheath is inserted over the guidewire through the pseudoaneurysm neck into the main vessel. A balloon is advanced from the crossover sheath into the main trunk to cover the pseudoaneurysm ostium. The ExoSeal system is then inserted through the second sheath. As the ExoSeal's indicator wire is withdrawn, the balloon is inflated to stabilize the indicator wire, ensuring precise deployment of the PGA plug at the pseudoaneurysm neck.
