Ascending aortic pseudoaneurysms (AO PSAs), if left untreated, are complicated by a high rate of rupture resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. New transcatheter modalities have emerged as acceptable surgical alternatives for their management. We present a case of an ascending aortic PSA in which intraoperative two- and three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (2DTEE and 3DTEE) provided a comprehensive assessment of the PSA in pre- and postclosure settings.
升主动脉假性动脉瘤(AO PSA)若不治疗,会因破裂率高而导致严重的发病率和死亡率。新的经导管治疗方法已成为可接受的手术替代方案用于其治疗。我们报告一例升主动脉PSA病例,术中二维和三维经食管超声心动图(2DTEE和3DTEE)对PSA闭合前后情况进行了全面评估。
