• Video - The image shown is a 2-D, mid-esophageal long axis view of the aorta in the vicinity of a traumatic pseudo-aneurysm. The stent introducer sits just distal to the orifice of the pseudo-aneurysm and there is an angiogram catheter passing into the ascending aorta. An attempt is bein made to pass a J-tip guidewire beyond the pseudo-aneurysm, into the proximal portion of the aorta. This will guide placement of an endograft that will seal off the pseudo-aneurysm. However, the wire is repetitively engaging the pseudo-aneurysm. This is not evident on plain fluoroscopy nor on angiography.
