Abstract

A Marfan patient presented with a bilobar apical pseudoaneurysm after repeated surgery. These abnormalities were demonstrated by three-dimensional-echo, Doppler, and CT-reconstruction. The pseudoaneurysm was related to an apical venting procedure. In this case, a conservative approach was chosen, although in general, pseudoaneurysms form an indication for operative correction, because of the risk of rupture and acute tamponade.

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.
