The following information was obtained from a 2017 literature article titled, "percutaneous closure of left ventricular pseudoaneursym with septal occluder device and coils: a multimodality imaging approach." a patient presented to the hospital for a two week follow up after a myocardial infarction.An echocardiogram (ecg) diagnosed a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm.A 10mm amplatzer muscular vsd occluder (muscvsd) was successfully deployed via a retrograde transaortic approach.A follow up ecg showed continued flow into the pseudoaneurysm.The patient was brought back to the cath lab three days later for direct chest wall entry into the pseudoaneurysm to deploy three coils (boston scientific, 0.018 inch interlock 2d coils).The residual flow was resolved and the patient was discharged.Conclusion: multimodality imaging is essential for diagnosis, to completely understand the pseudoaneurysm anatomy, for procedural planning, and ultimately to guide the intervention.Doi: 10.1016/j.Jcin.2017.06.033.
