Since surgical repair is associated with very high morbidity and mortality, percutaneous closure has been described as an alternative. In this regard, we present a case in which a symptomatic large pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta was treated percutaneously due to the high surgical risk. Despite the technical difficulties, this procedure had a good final result followed by clinical success.engHSM CARHSM CCTAneurysm, False/etiologyAneurysm, False/therapyAortic Aneurysm, Thoracic/therapyTreatment Outcomejournal article10.1016/j.repc.2015.09.021
