Key result
Multimodality imaging is important for diagnosing left ventricular pseudoaneurysm, which is primarily treated with surgical repair or conservative management in high-risk patients.
Highlights the role of multimodality imaging in diagnosing chronic massive left ventricular pseudoaneurysm.
May support multimodality imaging for LV pseudoaneurysm diagnosis; leaves open optimal management strategies.
