Although the placement of a stent graft and the use of occluder devices and vascular plugs to exclude pseudoaneurysm are adopted for some patients, the management of progressive pseudoaneurysms that may rupture at any time remains a challenge that needs to be addressed. In this study, we present the case of a patient with an AAP that was caused by aortic and mitral valve replacement for the giant left ventricle. Aortic pseudoaneurysm was suspected on the basis of a spherical cystic echo (70\u2009\u00d7\u200980\u2005mm) of the ascending aorta; this pseudoaneurysm was detected by an ultrasonic cardiogram, and the diagnosis was confirmed by an aortic computed tomography angiography (CTA) examination. To prevent the unexpected rupture of a progressive pseudoaneurysm, our patient was treated with a 28-\u2005mm ASD occluder without any procedural complications. Our patient has a good prognosis, which will inspire clinicians to choose minimally invasive procedures when dealing with such high-risk cases in emergency situations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fcvm.2023.1134196","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,17]],"date-time":"2023-03-17T11:37:52Z","timestamp":1679053072000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Minimally invasive closure of a progressive pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta: A case report"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Yuan","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Linglin","family":"Fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fei","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hui","family":"Zhuang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xijie","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"576527","DOI":"10.3389\/fped.2021.576527","article-title":"Case report: ascending aortic pseudo-aneurysm following ventricular septal defect repair in a 4-year-old girl","volume":"9","author":"Li","year":"2021","journal-title":"Front Pediatr"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"906","DOI":"10.1053\/j.jvca.2009.12.011","article-title":"Surgery for pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta: role of intraoperative 2-dimensional and real-time 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography","volume":"24","author":"Gadhinglajkar","year":"2010","journal-title":"J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"843","DOI":"10.2147\/IMCRJ.S340364","article-title":"Incidental finding of an aspergillus pseudoaneurysm in the ascending aorta of an immunocompetent patient","volume":"14","author":"Ali","year":"2021","journal-title":"Int Med Case Rep J"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e155815","DOI":"10.1172\/jci.insight.155815","article-title":"mTOR inhibition prevents angiotensin II-induced aortic rupture and pseudoaneurysm but promotes dissection in apoe-deficient mice","volume":"7","author":"He","year":"2022","journal-title":"JCI Insight"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e356","DOI":"10.1111\/jdv.15648","article-title":"Pseudoaneurysm following a freshwater stingray injury","volume":"33","author":"Blaizot","year":"2019","journal-title":"J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"rjx092","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjx092","article-title":"Aortic rupture due to radiation injury successfully treated with thoracic endovascular aortic repair","volume":"2017","author":"Kawatani","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Surg Case Rep"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"576","DOI":"10.3389\/fcvm.2023.1134196","article-title":"Systematic review of interventions to repair ascending aortic\u00a0pseudoaneurysms","volume":"14","author":"Quevedo","year":"2014","journal-title":"Ochsner J"},{"key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"185","DOI":"10.2459\/JCM.0000000000001253","article-title":"Transcatheter aortic valve implantation in patients with unruptured aortic root pseudoaneurysm: an observational study","volume":"23","author":"Chiocchi","year":"2022","journal-title":"J Cardiovasc Med"},{"key":"B9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"340","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejvs.2020.10.024","article-title":"Coil embolisation of an ascending aortic pseudo aneurysm to avoid a second ascending aortic redo operation","volume":"61","author":"Orrico","year":"2021","journal-title":"Eur J Vasc Endovasc Surg"}],"container-title":["Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fcvm.2023.1134196\/full","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,13]],"date-time":"2023-07-13T05:15:29Z","timestamp":1689225329000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fcvm.2023.1134196\/full"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,20]]},"references-count":9,"alternative-id":["10.3389\/fcvm.2023.1134196"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/fcvm.2023.1134196","relation":{},"ISSN":["2297-055X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2297-055X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,20]]},"article-number":"1134196"}}
