title: Endovascular repair of mitroaortic intervalvular fibrosa aneurysm after bentall surgery.
abstract: We report the first case of a successful transapical transcatheter treatment of a giant pseudoaneurysm originating from a rupture of the mitroaortic fibrosa that occurred 3 months after a Bentall procedure in a 81-year-old male patient. Because of the age of the patient and the location of the leak at the mitroaortic fibrosa, the risk of a conventional ascending aorta reoperation was considered too high, and a transcatheter approach was chosen. A transapical puncture was performed with a left minithoracotomy followed by a catheterization of the pseudoaneurysm neck and an 8-mm Amplatzer (St. Jude Medical, Saint Paul, MN, USA) device was delivered, resulting in a successful complete endovascular exclusion of the pseudo-aneurysmal sac.
