Abstract

The echocardiographic, scintigraphic, angiocardiographic and autopsy correlations in a patient with left ventricular pseudoaneurysm are presented. Interruption of the echo of the left ventricular wall and radioisotope image of pseudoaneurysm and its communication channel are demonstrated for the first time. The striking similarity of the radioisotope image to the angiographic image is noted.
