If left untreated, there is a significant risk of aortic wall rupture and fatality. Given the high risk of mortality associated with traditional open surgical repair of aortic pseudoaneurysms, endovascular approach is a potentially favourable alternative. We describe a unique case of a young woman with a large and complex paraprosthetic pseudoaneurysm with multiple communicating fistulae which was successfully percutaneously treated with two occluder devices. In this technically challenging case, a minor but unique procedural complication is also illustrated.}, URL = {https://casereports.bmj.com/content/13/9/e235545}, eprint = {https://casereports.bmj.com/content/13/9/e235545.full.pdf}, journal = {BMJ Case Reports CP} }
