Abstract
|
|
|
Left ventricular (LV) pseudoaneurysms rarely occur, but are detected more often with the development of new diagnostic
tools. Since LV pseudoaneurysms are life-threatening, early surgical intervention is recommended. This report describes an 87-year-old woman with heart failure and a large LV pseudoaneurysm which progressed from a small LV pseudoaneurysm after an acute myocardial infarction over a 1-year period.
