  • Title: [Late recurrence of a large post-infarction left ventricular pseudo-aneurysm. A case report].

    Journal: Arch Mal Coeur Vaiss; 1998 Sep; 91(9):1177-81. PubMed ID: 9805578.
    Abstract:
    Left ventricular pseudo-aneurysm is a neo-cavity characterised by the presence of a narrow neck and a wall consisting of fibrous tissue and thrombotic debris without any muscular cells. The diagnosis must be made as soon as possible by non-invasive methods (echocardiography, CT scan, MRI ...) or by angiography before early surgical treatment, in view of the high risk of secondary rupture. The authors report this original case of a post-infarction left ventricular pseudoaneurysm which recurred five years after initial surgical cure.
