VALIENTE MUSTELIER, Juan; CABRERA REGO, Julio Oscar e GARCIA FERNANDEZ, Raymid. Posterior left ventricular pseudoaneurysm. Rev cubana med [online]. 2010, vol.49, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-302X.
Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is an uncommon clinical entity mainly from a acute myocardial infarction (AMA), this a severe complication and potentially mortal. However, in exceptional cases, rupture is content by an organized hematoma, pericardium and fibrous tissue. The early diagnosis is essential owing to high probability of a spontaneous rupture; echocardiography is the standard diagnosis for this entity. Here is the case of a large pseudoaneurysm diagnosed in a patient with recent infarction.
