Pediatr Int. 2016 Jul;58(7):648-51. doi: 10.1111/ped.12893. Epub 2016 Mar 8.

Abstract

Pseudoaneurysm in the left ventricular outflow tract is a rare complication occurring after cardiac surgery. We report on the successful percutaneous device closure of a pseudoaneurysm in the left ventricular outflow tract, which developed in a 23-month-old girl after resection of a subaortic ridge. The pseudoaneurysm was closed using an Amplatzer Vascular Plug II.

Keywords: child; left ventricular outflow tract; percutaneous closure; pseudoaneurysm.
