Abstract Left ventricular (LV) pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We report the case of a 67-year-old male patient seen in 2024. Following an AMI in 2019, the patient was diagnosed with a LV pseudoaneurysm after complaining of dyspnea and undergoing imaging tests including echocardiogram and magnetic resonance imaging. The patient underwent aneurysmectomy and revascularization surgery, progressing satisfactorily during the postoperative period.

Abstract Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (LVPSA) is a rare complication after myocardial infarction (MI) with a significant risk of rupture if untreated. Given the elevated surgical risk in this context, alternative treatments are emerging. This case describes a percutaneous closure of an LVPSA after extensive MI with delayed revascularization.

Introduction Literature shows cases of cardiac neocavities, often associated with pseudoaneurysms resulting from traumatic injuries or fistulized periprosthetic abscesses involving the left ventricle (LV). Cardiac pseudoaneurysms are typically complications of acute myocardial infarction but can also occur in the late postoperative period of valve surgery. Certain areas are particularly prone to the development of ascending aortic pseudoaneurysms. Generally, these events occur in sites where aortic cannulation and clamping take place, as well as in the areas of graft sutures. […]

Introduction Left ventricular (LV) pseudoaneurysm after acute myocardial infarction may show nonspecific symptoms and be asymptomatic in up to 10% of cases. It demands investigation and a suspected diagnosis, with imaging methods playing a fundamental role in its diagnosis. This case report describes a pseudoaneurysm detected on a routine examination. […]
