Abstract
We report an unusual case of subepicardial aneurysm (SEA) of the left ventricle. An 82-year-old man had undergone patch closure of a ventricular septal rupture due to anterior acute myocardial infarction. A postoperative left ventriculogram showed the presence of contrast medium outside the left ventricle, and urgent surgery was performed. The lesion was diagnosed as SEA, and was repaired before rupture.Entities:
