Case report: pseudoaneurysm of left ventricle secondary to infective endocarditis complicated by cardiac rupture—a multimodality imaging approach

Pseudoaneurysm (PSA) of the left ventricle (LV) is a rare peri-annular complication of infective endocarditis (IE), and it is associated with high risk of free wall rupture. The diagnosis is challenging because the exact incidence and the pathogenesis are still unclear.
