Population
1 elderly male with an extensive cardiac history presenting with a non-ST segment myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).

Development and rupture of left ventricular pseudoaneurysmhard clinical

Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a highly lethal complication of myocardial infarction that requires emergent diagnosis and surgical intervention.

Cite This Study

Douedi et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Non-ST segment myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (n=1). Percutaneous coronary intervention was evaluated. An elderly male with NSTEMI managed with percutaneous coronary intervention developed a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm that ruptured, ultimately leading to his death.
