Post-Bentall ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm due to coronary button dehiscence.

Post-Bentall ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm due to coronary button dehiscence. Ann Thorac Surg. 2020 Aug 07;: Authors: Sivakumar K, Hassan PS Abstract Ascending aortic pseudoaneurysms after Bentall procedure caused by proximal or distal anastomotic or coronary dehiscence could carry high operative risks. There is one report in literature that describes transcatheter management for distal anastamotic dehiscence using a vascular plug; a similar management of proximal anastomotic or coronary dehiscence may affect valve function and coronary flows. A successful non-surgical closure of a left coronary dehiscence aided by multimodal imaging and its short-term follow-up is described. PMID: 32777216 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
