Abstract
In this report, we present a case of a 51-year-old male patient with a left ventricular (LV) pseudoaneurysm and a ruptured lateral wall due to a previous myocardial infarction. This patient was referred to the Coronary Care Unit with a past history of acute coronary syndrome of two months. He presented with palpitations and acute pulmonary edema upon admission. Color Doppler detected a ruptured lateral ventricular wall, and an echocardiogram confirmed the presence of a lateral ventricular wall pseudoaneurysm. Emergency LV aneurysmal rupture repair surgery was performed on this patient, and the postoperative findings were stable till discharge.Entities:
