Transcatheter Closure of Left Ventricular Apical Pseudoaneurysm with an Amplatzer Vascular Plug.
We report the case of a 66-year-old man, with a history of previous chest radiation therapy admitted to ED for heart failure. The patient was diagnosed with severe aortic stenosis and multivessel coronary disease and underwent surgical aortic valve replacement and coronary artery by pass grafts. Cardiac surgery was complicated by a left ventricular perforation by a venting catheter. The laceration was repaired with a Teflon patch apparently successful. Four months later, a CT scan performed for oncological follow-up demonstrated the complete detachment of the Teflon patch and the formation of a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm. The pseudoaneurysm was effectively treated percutaneously using an Amplatzer Vascular Plug 4.
