Key result
LV false aneurysms arise from post-MI ventricular wall rupture contained by pericardial adhesions.
Why the study?
False aneurysms of the left ventricle develop after rupture of the ventricular wall in an area of pericardial adhesions and represent an uncommon complication of myocardial infarction.

Alerts clinicians to this uncommon post-MI complication on imaging; extends sparse case documentation while leaving management questions open.
False aneurysms of the left ventricle develop after rupture of the ventricular wall in an area of pericardial adhesions. This complication of myocardial infarction is uncommon. Images of a post-infarction false aneurysm are presented.
