- Title
Reply to 'Revisiting postsurgical aortic pseudoaneurysm mortality and treatment options'.
- Authors
Hegeman, Romy R. M. J. J.; Swaans, Martin J.; ten Berg, Jurriën M.; Klein, Patrick
- Abstract
This document is a reply to a letter expressing interest in a recent publication about aortic pseudoaneurysm mortality and treatment options. The authors clarify that their study is a case series, not a systematic review or state-of-the-art review of treatment strategies. They emphasize that current guidelines recommend intervention or surgery for aortic pseudoaneurysms, regardless of size, due to the risk of rupture. The authors acknowledge a correction to their original article regarding mortality rates associated with non-surgical treatment. The document concludes with a statement of no conflicts of interest from the authors.
