Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm diagnosed with multi-detector computer tomography.
A 62-year-old man with chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia presented increasing dyspnoea one month after a pericardiocentesis. Chest MDCT scan (Figs. 1 and 2) showed left ventricle pouching of contrast material, suggestive of pseudoaneurysm (probably iatrogenic), confirmed with trans-thoracic echo-cardiogram (Video 1). Surgical repair successfully closed the ventricle-pseudoa-neurysm connection. F...
متن کاملPost-myocardial infarction left ventricular pseudoaneurysm diagnosed incidentally by echocardiography
A 54-year-old man developed a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (Ps) along the lateral wall of the left ventricle (LV), which was diagnosed incidentally by two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (2DTTE) 6 months after an acute myocardial infarction. Colour flow imaging (CFI) showed blood flow from the LV into the aneurysmal cavity and invasive coronary angiography revealed sub-occlusion o...

A 72-year-old elderly male smoker with a known history of hypertension presented with a six day history of chest pain. His blood pressure at presentation was 110/70 mmHg and there was no audible murmur. ECG showed Q waves in the inferior leads (Figure 1A) and troponin level was elevated (14 μg/L). Chest X-ray showed cardiomegaly with linear atelectasis in both lung bases. The working diagnosi...

Left ventricular (LV) pseudoaneurysms form when cardiac rupture is contained by adherent pericardium or scar tissue. Although LV pseudoaneurysms are not common, the diagnosis is difficult and they are prone to rupture. We evaluated the clinical presentation, diagnostic accuracy of imaging modalities, results of therapy and prognosis of 290 patients with LV pseudoaneurysms. Most cases of LV pseu...

A56-year-old obese woman with severe steroidand oxygen-dependent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was thought to have experienced an apical myocardial infarction at home on the basis of review of history. When she was evaluated 3 months later at an outside hospital for recurrent chest pain, a cardiac catheterization revealed a total distal occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary...
