  • Title: [Pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricle (healing of the cardiac wall rupture in a myocardial infarct)].
    Author: Steiner I, Pleskot J, Vojtísek P.
    Journal: Cesk Patol; 1983 Feb; 19(1):20-6. PubMed ID: 6839381.
    Abstract:
    Rupture of the left ventricle in an infarction is nearly always ensued by a massive pericardiac haemorrhage and sudden death of cardiac tamponade. Quite exceptionally, haemorrhage can be confined in pericardiac adhesions which is followed by a pseudoaneurysm. Case of a 62 year old man is depicted who deceased suddenly 7 months after an acute posterior wall heart infarction. A voluminous pseudoaneurysm was found at the ruptured posterior wall of the left ventricle. Retrospective clinical evaluation fixed the heart rupture on the 10th day after infarction.
