This case report highlights the rare occurrence of a false left ventricular aneurysm originating from a true aneurysm, diagnosed via ventriculography and treated with surgical resection.
Warrants consideration of combined true-false LV aneurysms in late post-MI VT; leaves open optimal imaging and resection criteria.
False aneurysms of the left ventricle are rare complications of myocardial infarction. In this unusual case, a 57‐year‐old male patient had a false aneurysm, that took origin from a true aneurysm in the inferior wall, both discovered 7 years postinfarct. The aneurysms were demonstrable by ventriculography and were resected because of ventricular tachycardia.
