Fig. 29.4 Bench testing on 3D printed patient-specific cardiac models. Printed cardiac 3D soft model representing tissue characteristics was used to determine the best access site and guiding catheter to en­gage the subaortic pseudoaneurysm. Transapical (A) access allowed for the most coaxial and feasible ap­proach compared with transseptal (B) access. A 6F left coronary bypass guiding catheter (A) provided the best coaxial engagement of the pseudoaneurysm, followed by a Judkins right 4 guide (C). Amplatz Left-1 guiding catheter did not provide a great fit, given the narrow left ventricular outflow tract. (Reproduced with permission from Al-Hijji MA, Guerrero M, Rihal CS, Eleid MF.

Conservative Management
Minimal data are available on conservative management of pseudoaneurysms. In a systematic review of 31 patients who were managed conservatively, 48% died at a median of 1 week, with the remainder of patients alive at a median of 156 weeks. vives the early period after pseudoaneurysm formation and their risk of surgical or percutaneous treatment is considered prohibitive, conservative management may be appropriate. However, this should be pursued with caution, and very close follow-up with serial imaging is important.

The patient was considered at prohibitive risk for repeat surgery and percutaneous closure carried a high risk of interfering with the single mechanical valve. The patient was followed serially with CT scans for 3 months (available follow-up until 1 year) without any change in the size of pseudoaneurysm. She was already on anticoagulation for the mechanical valve.
In patients who are managed conservatively, anticoagulation is recommended to reduce the
risk of thrombus formation and systemic embolism.
Percutaneous Closure of Pseudoaneurysms
VENTRICULAR AND AORTIC PSEUDOANEURYSMS
Percutaneous approaches have allowed for a less invasive treatment of pseudoaneurysms. The ac­cess to pseudoaneurysms depends on its location. The retroaortic (femoral artery) approach is usually utilized for apical, posterolateral, and aortic pseudoaneurysms. The antegrade (transseptal) approach can be used in posterobasal pseudoaneurysms or in patients with a mechanical aortic valve. A transapical approach may be required in patients with double (aortic and mitral) me­chanical valves or if the pseudoaneurysm is not reachable, such as in cases of a left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) pseudoaneurysm (Fig. 29.6). TTE is used to identify the true apex, and the transapical puncture site is marked using a sterile marker. Using fluoroscopic imaging, the trans­apical puncture is performed with 16-cm gauge 3 10-cm Angiocath needle and a 6F sheath is introduced. Catheters are introduced through this sheath, and the occluder device and/or endo­vascular coils are deployed. The transapical access is closed using 4- to 6-mm AVP II plug after removal of the sheath.
The following techniques can be used to approach percutaneous closure of pseudoaneurysms

Occluder Devices
Occluder devices are usually used for moderate or large pseudoaneurysms. Preprocedure CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans are studied in detail to measure the size of the pseu­doaneurysm and width and length of the neck of the pseudoaneurysm. In addition, the landing zone of the occluder devices and any chances of impinging or interfering with surrounding struc­tures such as coronary arteries and valve leaflets can be assessed.
Occluder devices that can be used include the Amplatzer Vascular Plug II (AVP II) (St. Jude Medical, St. Paul, MN) and septal duct occluders (Amplatzer ASD or VSD Occluder, AGA, Minneapolis, MN). These devices are made of braded nitinol mesh with micro-interlocked struts. They are attached to a 155-cm stainless steel cable that allows for device repositioning before final release. The device accelerates fibrin-mediated thrombogenesis by substantially reducing flow across the nitinol mesh. A plan for the type of device and size should be made based on the pseudoaneurysm size and risk of interference with surrounding structures. We usually place an occluder device that is 50% wider than the pseudoaneurysm neck to ensure a complete seal. The devices are not significantly oversized, to limit the risk of impingement and compression of sur­rounding structures. The procedure is performed under conscious sedation and local anesthesia, unless transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is required to assess for interactions with other cardiac structures such as mechanical valves in patients with paravalvular pseudoaneurysm. Intra­cardiac echocardiography (ICE) can be used instead in patients who are at high risk for general anesthesia.

tract pseudoaneurysm. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2019;94(6):859-862.)
For a retrograde approach, a 6F to 8F sheath is inserted in the femoral artery using ultrasound guidance. A biplane left ventriculogram or aortogram is performed for LV and aortic pseudoaneu­rysms, respectively. Adjustments may be required to clearly outline the neck of the pseudoaneurysm. We typically start with a 6F multipurpose guide catheter with a telescoping 5F 125-cm multipur­pose diagnostic catheter and extra-support angled hydrophilic 0.0350 wire (Glidewire, Terumo Medical Corp., Somerset, NJ) to engage the pseudoaneurysm. Different guiding catheters may have to be utilized depending on the location of the pseudoaneurysm.
After advancing the guide catheter, a selective angiogram of the pseudoaneurysm is per­formed. After this, an Amplatz extra-stiff 0.0350 wire (Cook Medical, Bloomington, IN) is ad­vanced in the pseudoaneurysm and the guide catheter is replaced by a shuttle sheath. Leaving the

wire in place (anchor safety wire), an occluder device is deployed with its narrowest diameter across the neck of the pseudoaneurysm. Next, fluoroscopic and echocardiographic evaluation is performed to assess for device stability and any possible mechanical effects on adjacent valvular or other structures. Selective or nonselective coronary angiography can be performed if there is concern of vessel compression before full device release in LVOT pseudoaneurysms.
An angiogram is performed to confirm there is no leak around the device. Further confirma-
tion is obtained using TTE, TEE, or ICE. The wire is removed and the device is released if there is no impingement or compression on surrounding structures. A repeat biplane angiogram is performed to confirm complete closure.
Antegrade (transseptal) access may be required in paramitral valve pseudoaneurysms and in
cases where the retrograde approach is not feasible, such as in patients with a mechanical aortic valve. In those cases, a steerable and flexible sheath such as 8.5F Agilis Steerable NxT Introducer (St. Jude Medical, St. Paul, MN), along with the telescoping catheters, is used to provide a wide range of reach to engage the pseudoaneurysm. Other steps are similar to what has been described earlier. Figs. 29.7 to 29.9 show the step-by-step approach to percutaneous closures of LV and aortic pseudoaneurysms with occluder devices.
Coil Embolization
For smaller pseudoaneurysms with a very narrow neck, endovascular coils can be used to plug the pseudoaneurysm. Care must be exercised to avoid any extension of the coils into the LV or aorta. For this approach, initial steps include femoral artery access, biplane an­giogram, selective engagement of the pseudoaneurysm, and placement of the guiding catheter.

Commercially available endovascular coils can be placed within the sac to completely oblit­erate the cavity. Repeat angiogram is performed to confirm complete closure after partial reversal with protamine. Detachable coils such as EV3 Axium (EV3 Endovascular, Inc., Peripheral Vascular, Plymouth, MN) are preferable to allow for controlled release and clo­sure. Snares should be available in the catheterization laboratory for retrieval in cases of inadvertent coil embolization or prolapse into the aorta or ventricular cavity. Fig. 29.10 shows an example of LV pseudoaneurysm closure with endovascular coils.
Tables 29.2 and 29.3 outline the technical considerations and advantages and disadvantages
of using coils versus occluder devices.

Combined Occluder Device and Coil Embolization
In very large pseudoaneurysms or those with multiple lobes or incomplete closure with oc­cluder device alone, a combined approach can be used. Similar steps are used to engage the pseudoaneurysm, followed by deployment of the occluder device. A 4F multipurpose cath­eter is then advanced over the wire into the pseudoaneurysm and the wire is removed. En­dovascular coils are then introduced with complete packing of the sac. The occluder device is secured in position to make sure there is no extension or embolization of coil outside the pseudoaneurysm sac.

CORONARY AND GRAFT PSEUDOANEURYSMS
Coil and Noncovered Stent or Covered Stent
Coronary artery pseudoaneurysms are rare but can develop secondary to vascular trauma from previous intervention, vasculitis, or spontaneous dissection. Coronary bypass graft pseudoaneurysms can also develop in degenerated vein grafts. This can be associated with angina because of steal phenomenon, and is also associated with an increased risk of thrombosis and occlusion of the graft in addition to an increased risk for rupture. Coil embolization across a noncovered stent is a commonly utilized technique to minimize the risk of coil prolapse into the main vessel and subsequent thrombosis (Fig. 29.20). dition, covered stents like the Graftmaster or peripheral stents such as Viabahn can be used to exclude the pseudoaneurysm. Fig. 29.21 shows an example of a vein graft we treated with a Viabahn (W. L. Gore & Associates, Flagstaff, AZ) polytetrafluoroethylene­coated, nitinol, self-expanding peripheral stent.
15
The use of covered stents in coronary arteries requires long duration of dual antiplatelet therapy, as the risk of stent thrombosis and subsequent MI is high. Therefore covered stent use is limited in coronary aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms.

pecially if the periprosthetic leak requires concomitant closure.
Complications
Immediate complications may include incomplete closure and embolization of occluder devices or coils. The operators should be competent with using different snares in this setting. Incomplete closure can be problematic, as it may lead to further enlargement of the pseudoaneurysm and the potential for thrombus communication with the systemic vascular system.
