Journal of Cardiac Surgery

Abstract

We report a patient with situs inversus who developed a large posterior interventricular septum pseudoaneurysm with a septal defect following a myocardial infarction. The ventricular septum was approached through the left ventricle and the entrance of the pseudoaneurysm was repaired with a strip of equine pericardium.

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.
