Transcatheter closure of ruptured sinus of valsalva aneurysm using symmetrical perimembraneous VSD device

Transcatheter treatment of pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm using a PDA closure device.

Aneurysm of the branch pulmonary arteries are rare. The treatment options vary from case to case and include either surgery or percutaneous transcatheter treatment. The authors report a case of a 13-year-old boy who presented with a large pseudoaneurysm arising from the left lower lobe pulmonary artery.
