Overview

Case report describes surgical repair and imaging techniques for a pseudoaneurysm in a heart failure patient.

Key Points

  • To present a rare case of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm following myocardial infarction and discuss clinical management.
  • Case report of a 63-year-old female with left ventricular pseudoaneurysm post-myocardial infarction.
  • Used echocardiogram to assess pseudoaneurysm characteristics and Doppler for blood flow.
  • Implemented surgical suturing for repair of the pseudoaneurysm.
  • Patient had a mid left ventricle pseudoaneurysm diagnosed via 2-D Echocardiogram.
  • Dimensions of the pseudoaneurysm were 5 x 8 x 8 cms with bidirectional flow noted.
  • Successful surgical repair resulted in alleviation of symptoms.
