Structured PICO

P
Population
A 48-year-old man who developed a large left ventricular false-pseudo and pseudo aneurysm following an extensive inferior myocardial infarction.
I
Intervention
Serial observations by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and CT imaging, followed by aneurysmectomy

Serial cardiac MRI provides important insights into the complex formation process of pseudo and false-pseudo left ventricular aneurysms following myocardial infarction.

Cite This Study

Ando et al. (2007) conducted a case report in Left ventricular false-pseudo and pseudo aneurysm (n=1). Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging was evaluated. Serial cardiac magnetic resonance imaging provided crucial information for understanding the formation process of a combined pseudo and false-pseudo left ventricular aneurysm after myocardial infarction.
