Transcatheter Closure of Ventricular Pseudoaneurysms Using 3D-Shaped Platinum-Based Bare-Metal Coils.

ABSTRACT: Ventricular pseudoaneurysms (PSAs) are contained ruptures of the ventricular wall with a high risk of rupture. Though traditionally managed with surgery, percutaneous intervention is an established option for high-risk patients. This case series is the first to evaluate the independent and combined use of large 3-dimensionally (3D) shaped platinum-based bare-metal coils for percutaneous closure of ventricular PSAs. We report on 3 patients presenting with ventricular PSAs in various locations, treated successfully with Penumbra coils alone or in combination with commonly used nitinol closure devices. While closure with a single occluder device may not always achieve complete neck sealing and isolation of the PSA, the combination with bare-metal coils has proven to be an effective and safe s
