A Case of Left Ventricular Pseudo-False Aneurysm Occurred in the Apex

Abstract

We report a case of a patent with a left ventricular pseudo-false aneurysm occurring in the apex. A 77-year-old man, he visited our hospital because of an abnormal electrocardiogram. Coronary computed tomography revealed stenosis of the left anterior descending artery and a small aneurysm in the apex. A left ventriculogram after percutaneous coronary intervention showed the aneurysm similarly. We decided to remove it to prevent rupture. We performed an operation, an aneurysmectomy. His clinical course was uneventful. Pathological examination after the operation showed that the aneurysm wall contained residual myocardium. This finding showed a left ventricular pseudo-false aneurysm.
