Pseudoaneurysm of the aorta is a rare and high-risk complication of native aortic valve endocarditis and can develop following cardiac surgery for aortic valve and root disease. 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.

Percutaneous type of orthopedic and dental implants requires not only a good adhesion with bone, but also the ability to form good attachment and seal with connective tissues and skins. Currently, the skin-seal of such implants still remains as a problem to be resolved. Electrochemical processing was used to modify the surface of titanium implants in order to improve the ability of anti-bacteria infection and skin seal around the implants by synthesizing a fluoridated calcium phosphate thin film on titanium substrate. The surface of titanium was cathodically treated in an electrochemical cell. A thin film of about 80 nm thickness was deposited on the titanium surface by controlling the treatment parameters. The dense and gel-like film was composed of calcium phosphate and fluorine ions. Fluorine ion has the anti-bacteria property and could help to improve the skin seal around the percutaneous device. The electrochemical method of fluoridated calcium phosphate thin film synthesis will provide an alternative method for surface treatment of orthopedic and dental implants.
