Ascending pseudoaneurysm is an infrequent complication of ascending aortic surgery. Redo operations are often associated with a high surgical morbidity and mortality. Endovascular management of ascending aortic pathologies with endoluminal graft therapies are challenging due to short landing zones and the fear of flow obstruction to the coronaries and brachiocephalic circulation. We report mid-term follow-up of the management of an ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm using a an Amplatz septal occluder (AGA Medical Corp, Golden Valley, MN) in a 51-year-old man considered at high risk for conventional open surgical repair.
