Endovascular treatment of a giant infected ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm with occlusion device and coil embolization

Abstract

A patient with recurrent sepsis caused by an infected ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm was deemed unsuitable for surgery after the heart team evaluation. He successfully underwent percutaneous treatment with a combination of a septal occlusion device and coil embolization and remained free of sepsis 24 months after implantation.
