Abstract
Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (LV-PSA) is a rare complication following cardiac surgery, let alone in the pediatric population. Other known causes of LV-PSA are trauma, percutaneous cardiac intervention, and infections. This report describes the development of LV-PSA following surgical repair of ventricular septal defect (VSD) and coarctation of aorta (CoA) in an infant.Entities:
