Key result
Open surgical repair successfully treated a 46-year-old man presenting with a left ventricular rupture and communicating pseudoaneurysm.
Why the study?
Ventricular rupture with pseudoaneurysm is a rare condition where urgent repair is recommended to prevent rupture of the pseudoaneurysm.
Open surgical repair can be successfully performed for urgent treatment of left ventricular rupture with pseudoaneurysm.
Supports feasibility in selected LV rupture cases; leaves open need for comparative data before broader adoption.
Ventricular rupture with pseudoaneurysm is a rare phenomenon that usually occurs after myocardial infarction, previous cardiac surgery and infectious or inflammatory conditions. To prevent rupture of the pseudoaneurysm, urgent repair is recommended. We report successful open surgical repair of a 46-year-old man, who presented with pseudoaneurysm communicating with left ventricle.
