    Abstract:
    Pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricle is an unusual complication of myocardial infarction. Surgical resection is justified by the high risk of rupture. Patients may be asymptomatic, more often a clinical state of chronic heart failure is present. We report on a patient who successfully underwent urgent resection of a large pseudoaneurysm which was the cause of acute heart failure.
