Key result
Coronary bypass surgery with endoaneurysmorraphy resulted in a satisfactory recovery for a patient with a huge, initially missed left ventricular pseudoaneurysm following myocardial infarction.
Highlights the importance of careful cardiac examination to avoid missing huge left ventricular pseudoaneurysms early after myocardial infarction.
Successful repair of missed post-MI LV pseudoaneurysm supports intervention when identified; case evidence leaves open systematic early detection strategies.
We report a case of a huge left ventricular pseudoaneurysm following myocardial infarction. Early after myocardial infarction, the pseudoaneurysm was missed during the cardiac examination. The patient underwent coronary bypass surgery with endoaneurysmorraphy of the pseudoaneurysm, and made a satisfactory recovery.
