Overview

May support CABG without plication in select organized LV pseudoaneurysms; leaves open need for prospective validation.

Structured PICO

P
Population
73-year-old man with a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm following acute myocardial infarction and triple vessel disease
I
Intervention
Coronary artery bypass surgery with no plication of the pseudoaneurysm, alongside medical management
O
Outcome
Clinical status at follow-up

Conservative management of a serpentine-like left ventricular pseudoaneurysm with organized thrombus via CABG without plication may yield favorable medium-term outcomes.
