Aneurysmectomy and revascularization surgery can lead to satisfactory outcomes in patients with late-discovered left ventricular pseudoaneurysm following acute myocardial infarction.
May support delayed surgical repair in select LV pseudoaneurysms; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Left ventricular (LV) pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).We report the case of a 67-year-old male patient seen in 2024.Following an AMI in 2019, the patient was diagnosed with a LV pseudoaneurysm after complaining of dyspnea and undergoing imaging tests including echocardiogram and magnetic resonance imaging.The patient underwent aneurysmectomy and revascularization surgery, progressing satisfactorily during the postoperative period.
