Abstract

We describe a case of giant pseudoaneurysm of the right pulmonary artery compressing the left atrium after percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation and right pulmonary artery dilatation. Such a complication mimicking an intracavity left atrial mass and treated successfully by stent placement has never, to the best of our knowledge, been reported. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.).

Keywords: ESV, Edwards Sapien valve; LPA, left pulmonary artery; RPA, right pulmonary artery; complication; computed tomography; echocardiography; right-sided catheterization.
