“…Pseudoaneurysms of the ascending aorta following previous thoracic surgery have been reported following various types of surgery involving ascending aorta, including aortic dissection repair [1], aortic valve replacement [2], orthotopic cardiac transplantation [3], and coronary artery bypass graft surgery [4]. Although rare, they may form at the site of aortic cannulation, aortomy, or aortic anastomoses.…”

We report the first case of the use of an Amplatzer septal occluder device to close a large ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm. The patient had a complex cardiac history with redo coronary artery bypass graft surgery, severe left ventricular dysfunction, and end-stage renal disease requiring hemodialysis. The procedure was successfully performed under fluoroscopic and 2D/3D transthoracic echocardiographic guidance. Six-week follow-up with both transthoracic echocardiography and MRI showed the device was in proper position with complete closure of the pseudoaneurysm.
