Key result
Percutaneous closure using endovascular coil embolization successfully occluded a complex basal left ventricular pseudoaneurysm in a high-surgical-risk 77-year-old female.
Why the study?
Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a life-threatening complication of myocardial infarction typically managed surgically, making percutaneous closure a promising minimally invasive alternative in high-risk patients.
Population
One 77-year-old female with a basal left ventricular pseudoaneurysm and decompensated heart failure after anterior myocardial infarction

Endovascular coil embolization is a feasible and safe minimally invasive alternative for treating high-risk left ventricular pseudoaneurysms with complex anatomy.
Rulia et al. (2025) conducted a case report in Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (n=1). Percutaneous closure with endovascular coil embolization was evaluated on Successful closure of pseudoaneurysm. Percutaneous closure using endovascular coil embolization successfully occluded a complex basal left ventricular pseudoaneurysm in a high-surgical-risk 77-year-old female.
