Riassunto analitico
Ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm is a rare pathology that could have multiple etiologies such as thoracic
trauma, infection, and percutaneous or surgical procedures. In patients with aortic pseudoaneurysms,
open surgical or endovascular interventions are always indicated, if feasible and independent of size.
Several types of endovascular treatment have been reported in the literature, but they have been mostly
restricted to those cases when traditional surgery has a prohibitive risk. We report the case of a 75-year-
old man with a sinotubular junction pseudoaneurysm, likely developed after coronary artery bypass
grafting, which was successfully treated by implanting a multifenestrated cribriform septal occluder, a
device already used in few similar cases.
