Abstract
Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a rare yet potentially fatal complication observed usually in cases of ST-elevation myocardial infarction without timely reperfusion. We report a case of successful elective percutaneous coronary intervention that evolved into left ventricular apical pseudoaneurysm with pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade, despite absence of reasonable cause for the complication, such as acute stent thrombosis or coronary perforation.
