Overview

Supports high lethality of postinfarction LV pseudoaneurysm; hypothesis-generating for optimal management timing.

Structured PICO

P
Population
6 patients (4 women, 2 men; mean age 59.4 years) with postinfarction left ventricular pseudoaneurysm, all in NYHA class IV congestive heart failure, identified from 2,600 consecutive patients undergoing cardiac catheterization at University Medical School, Debrecen, Hungary.
I
Intervention
Surgical repair of the false aneurysm (performed in 5 patients, with concomitant coronary bypass grafting in 3 patients).
O
Outcome
2-year mortality ratehard clinical

Postinfarction left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a rare but highly lethal mechanical complication that requires early diagnosis by echocardiography and prompt surgical correction.
