Abstract

A surgically successful case of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm 10 years after an acute myocardial infarction was reported. A 63-year-old man had an acute inferior myocardial infarction 10 years ago. Recently congestive heart failure and premature ventricular beats developed. He was diagnosed as a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm by echocardiogram, CT scan, and left ventriculogram. After the operation, the symptoms diminished and improvement of left ventricular function was observed. A brief review of the literature is given.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.
