Percutaneous repair of a sinotubular junction aortic pseudoaneurysm with an atrial septal defect occluder: a case report
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: Aortic pseudoaneurysms are complications that arise following cardiac surgery, thoracic trauma, infections, or inflammatory conditions. The mainstay treatment for aortic pseudoaneurysm is surgical management. Given significant morbidity and mortality related to thoracotomy, high-risk patients are not considered for cardiac surgery. Novel percutaneous repair using a variety of devices are being explored, especially in those with prohibitive risk for cardiac surgery. Case summary: This case describes the use of an Amplatzer atrial septal defect (ASD) occluder device to manage an aortic pseudoaneurysm in a 69-year-old male who had previously undergone coronary artery bypass graft surgery and pericardial drainage for purulent pericarditis. Following successful implant, there were no complications seen after 2 years of follow-up. Discussion: Percutaneous closure of a mycotic pseudoaneurysm with an Amplatzer ASD occluder device can be a safe and efficacious treatment option, especially in patients with prohibitive surgical risk.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
