Abstract

A common complication that has been reported after cardiac surgery is the Aortic Pseudoaneurysm (PSAs). The safety and efficacy of endovascular therapies for this pathology is still controversial. However surgical management of aortic PSAs is associated with high mortality and morbidly and in some cases is not even feasible so percutaneous closure has been described as an alternative. In this paper, we present a review of the literature and a case of an endovascular replacement of Aortic PSAs after aortic valve replacement.
