Key result
Accurate clinical differentiation between a life-threatening left ventricular pseudoaneurysm and a true aneurysm remains challenging but is critical for guiding emergency versus elective surgery.
Case Report (n=1)
Accurate differentiation between left ventricular pseudoaneurysm and true aneurysm is crucial due to the life-threatening rupture risk of pseudoaneurysms requiring emergency surgery.

Differentiation challenges in LV pseudoaneurysm may delay appropriate surgical timing; leaves open validated noninvasive criteria.
Bisoyi et al. (2016) conducted a case report in Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (n=1). Diagnosis of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm versus true aneurysm was evaluated. Accurate clinical differentiation between a life-threatening left ventricular pseudoaneurysm and a true aneurysm remains challenging but is critical for guiding emergency versus elective surgery.
