Key result
Surgical repair with pledgeted sutures successfully resolves late post-MI left ventricular pseudoaneurysm.
Why the study?
Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a rare but serious complication after myocardial infarction that requires urgent diagnosis and surgical intervention.
Case Report (n=1)
This case highlights the diagnostic challenges and the utility of multiple imaging techniques for timely surgical intervention in late-presenting left ventricular pseudoaneurysm following myocardial infarction.

Supports surgical repair feasibility for late post-MI LV pseudoaneurysm; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Bhardwaj et al. (2025) conducted a case report in Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm following myocardial infarction (n=1). Surgical pseudoaneurysmal repair with excision and pledgeted suture application was evaluated on Successful surgery for pseudoaneurysmal repair. Surgical pseudoaneurysmal repair with excision and pledgeted suture application was successful in a 63-year-old female presenting with a late left ventricular pseudoaneurysm post-myocardial infarction.
