  • Title: Novel percutaneous femoral arterial-transthoracic approach for closure of ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm with a septal occluder device in a child.
    Author: Masri SI, Majdalani MN, Bitar FF.
    Journal: Cardiol Young; 2014 Aug; 24(4):752-5. PubMed ID: 24016760.
    Abstract:
    Ascending aortic pseudoaneurysms are a rare complication following cardiac surgery. Their traditional surgical management carries high morbidity and mortality, especially in patients with multiple comorbidities. Transcatheter closure of these pseudoaneurysms using a septal occluder device has been previously reported in adults as an alternative approach with fewer complications. We report the first case of a novel percutaneous femoral arterial-transthoracic approach for exclusion of an ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm with an Amplatzer atrial septal occluder device in a 9-year-old child with Takayasu's arteritis.
