Abstract
Thoracic pseudoaneurysms are a rare variety of aortic disorders that are potentially fatal. Traditionally, these are treated surgically. False aneurysms are usually a late complication of a previous surgical procedure. Surgical management is often complicated by poor outcomes with high morbidity and mortality. We report a patient with recurrence of an aortic pseudoaneurysm after closure with an Amplatzer (AGA Medical Corp, Plymouth, NH) septal occluder that was successfully treated with a second Amplatzer device.
