Abstract

A Left Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm (LVP) forms when cardiac rupture is contained by pericardium or scar tissue [1]. Ventricular pseudoaneurysms differ from true aneurysms since they do not contain the endocardium or myocardium. LVPs can result from myocardial infarction, cardiac surgery, infection, or trauma [1]. The clinical presentation for ventricular pseudoaneurysms varies. Most notable presentations are chest pain, dyspnea, sudden cardiac arrest, congestive cardiac failure, tamponade, embolism, and syncope.
