ABSTRACT
A left ventricular (LV) pseudoaneurysm is an incomplete rupture of the LV myocardium that is contained by organized thrombus, adherent scar tissue, and portions of the epicardum and parietal pericardium. Congestive heart failure, chest pain, and dyspnea are the most frequently reported symptoms associated with LV pseudoaneurysm.. Lethal complications of LV pseudoaneurysm are LV failure, LV thrombus formation, embolization, rupture of the pseudoaneurysm, and death.
