Key result

Surgical repair of a giant left ventricular pseudoaneurysm and mitral valve was performed after the patient developed cardiac rupture and tamponade, but the patient did not fully recover.

Overview

Rupture risk during evaluation warrants caution in giant LV pseudoaneurysms; single case leaves optimal timing unresolved.

Giant left ventricular pseudoaneurysms carry a high risk of rupture, prompting the recommendation for urgent surgical intervention upon diagnosis.

Cite This Study

A 2013 study conducted a case report in Giant left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (n=1). Surgical repair of the aneurysm and mitral valve was evaluated on Clinical recovery. Surgical repair of a giant left ventricular pseudoaneurysm and mitral valve was performed after the patient developed cardiac rupture and tamponade, but the patient did not fully recover.
