title: Coronary sinus approach to repair an intracardiac ventricular pseudoaneurysm.
abstract: A coronary sinus approach using a Gore-Tex Patch was used to repair an intracardiac left ventricular pseudoaneurysm after a previous bioprosthetic mitral valve replacement. At follow-up six months after surgery, echocardiography and a computed tomographic scan revealed almost complete obliteration of the pseudoaneurysm cavity.
