    Author: Leitman M, Shmueli R, Stamler A, Krakover R, Hendler A, Vered Z.
    Journal: Echocardiography; 2006 May; 23(5):403-4. PubMed ID: 16686624.
    Abstract:
    Left ventricle pseudoaneurysm is an infrequent complication of myocardial infarction, and is most commonly localized in the inferoposterior left ventricular segments. We describe a patient post anterior myocardial infarction, who presented with pulmonary edema and a large pseudoaneurysm of the anterolateral wall with involvement of the anterolateral papillary muscle, resulting in severe mitral regurgitation. The patient underwent successful operation and is currently well.
