Chronic left ventricular pseudoaneurism.
We present the case of a 70-year-old white male presenting with an abnormal cardiac silhouette on the chest X-ray and complaining of fatigue in the week before hospital admission. Four months before admission he had a single prolonged ischemic chest pain episode. The ECG revealed an old true posterior myocardial infarction. The transthoracic echocardiogram showed a large left ventricular pseudoaneurysm and surgical resection was performed successfully. The etiology, diagnosis and treatment of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm are reviewed.
