Video Supplement: Transapical Device Closure of a Submitral Left Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm After Mitral Valve Replacement

Video 1. TTE in parasternal long-axis view demonstrating the submitral left ventricular pseudoaneurysm, with color Doppler confirming flow across the pseudoaneurysm neck. TTE = transthoracic echocardiography.

Video 2. Fluoroscopic image showing simultaneous left CAG during transapical puncture with a micropuncture needle, used to delineate the left anterior descending artery and avoid coronary injury. CAG = coronary angiography; CAU = caudal; PDA = patent ductus arteriosus; RAO = right anterior oblique.

Video 3. Combined transesophageal echocardiographic and fluoroscopic imaging showing the catheter advanced across the pseudoaneurysm neck and positioned within the pseudoaneurysm cavity before device deployment. CRA = cranial; LAO = left anterior oblique; PDA = patent ductus arteriosus.

Video 4. Combined transesophageal echocardiographic and fluoroscopic imaging showing release of the muscular ventricular septal defect occluder after confirmation of stable position across the pseudoaneurysm neck. CRA = cranial; LAO = left anterior oblique; patent ductus arteriosus.

Video 5. Final left ventricular angiography in left anterior oblique cranial projection showing both occluder devices in position, with no residual opacification of the pseudoaneurysm or access-site leak. CRA = cranial; PDA = patent ductus arteriosus; RAO = right anterior oblique.

Video 6. Six-month follow-up transthoracic echocardiography showing both occluder devices in situ, no residual flow across the pseudoaneurysm neck or apical access site, and normal prosthetic mitral valve function.
