Why the study?

Acquired left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a very rare complication mostly occurring after large transmural myocardial infarction and requires diagnosis and surgical treatment.

Design

Case report

Key result

A 74-year-old woman developed a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm complicating a relatively small inferior myocardial infarction due to right coronary artery occlusion.

Overview

LV pseudoaneurysm may complicate small inferior MI; case extends recognized spectrum beyond large transmural infarcts.

Population
A 74-year-old woman who presented with a relatively small inferior MI due to right coronary artery occlusion complicated by LV pseudoaneurysm.

Demonstrates that left ventricular pseudoaneurysm, typically associated with large transmural MIs, can also occur after a relatively small inferior myocardial infarction.

Cite This Study

Erdim et al. (2011) conducted a case report in Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm complicating inferior myocardial infarction (n=1). Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm was evaluated. A 74-year-old woman developed a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm complicating a relatively small inferior myocardial infarction due to right coronary artery occlusion.
