AI Article Synopsis
- This paper talks about two middle-aged men who had surgery to replace a heart valve but then had a problem called aortic pseudoaneurysms.

- The doctors think that this method might be a good option for patients who are at high risk for more surgery.
Article Abstract
This paper presents 2 cases of middle-aged men submitted to aortic valve replacement surgery that were complicated with ascending aortic pseudoaneurysms treated percutaneously with an atrial septal defect occlusion device (Amplatzer, Abbott Cardiovascular). Percutaneous closure may be an effective treatment in selected patients with high surgical risk.
