Key result
Left ventricular angiography and surgical resection successfully diagnosed and treated a massive left ventricular pseudoaneurysm following acute myocardial infarction.
Left ventricular angiography can accurately diagnose post-infarction left ventricular pseudoaneurysm, which can be successfully treated with surgical resection.
May inform rare post-MI LV pseudoaneurysm management; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
A case of pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricle following acute myocardial infarction is reported. The condition was accurately diagnosed by left ventricular angiography and successfully treated by surgical resection of a massive false aneurysm.
