ABSTRACT: This paper presents 2 cases of middle-aged men submitted to aortic valve replacement surgery that were complicated with ascending aortic pseudoaneurysms treated percutaneously with an atrial septal defect occlusion device (Amplatzer, Abbott Cardiovascular). Percutaneous closure may be an effective treatment in selected patients with high surgical risk.
