Abstract

A 52-year-old man with diabetes presented with recurrent, massive hemoptysis following pericardiectomy for pyopericardium secondary to Streptococcus viridans infection. Chest radiograph and bronchoscopic examinations revealed no bronchial cause. Computed tomography of the chest and echocardiography showed a pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricle. Surgical exploration confirmed that the pseudoaneurysm communicated with the left lung parenchyma and was the cause of recurrent intractable hemoptysis.

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.
