Key result
A patient developed a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm 2 months after undergoing surgical repair of a left ventricular aneurysm with concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting.
Case Report (n=1)
Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm can occur as a late complication following surgical repair of a left ventricular aneurysm with concomitant coronary bypass.

Raises caution for late pseudoaneurysm after LV aneurysm repair; single case leaves open true incidence and risk factors.
Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a false aneurysm, which results from a left ventricle rupture contained by adherent pericardium or scar tissue. The most common etiology of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is acute myocardial infarction but one-third of pseudoaneurysms develop following surgery. We present a case report of a patient who developed a false aneurysm of the left ventricle 2 months following surgical repair of a left ventricular aneurysm with a concomitant coronary bypass.
