Abstract
Left ventricular (LV) aneurysm after myocardial infarction without any clinical symptoms is a rare complication of coronary artery disease. In most cases, especially in young people, this complication is diagnosed too late, after rupture into the pericardial cavity has occurred. Here we present the successful surgical repair of a large LV aneurysm in a 35-year-old man. We could visualize this aneurysm and the coronary arteries non-invasively by contrast-enhanced 16-slice multi-detector row spiral computed tomography (MDCT).Entities:
