Transcatheter Treatment of Ascending Aorta Pseudoaneurysm Guided by 3D-Model Technology.

ABSTRACT: Ascending aorta pseudoaneurysm is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of atherosclerosis, infections, chest trauma, transcatheter or surgical interventions. Due to high surgical risk, percutaneous closure is considered a valuable cost-effective therapeutic alternative. In this setting, 3D printing technology is emerging as a powerful tool to plan transcatheter repair. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).
