Acquired pseudoaneurysm of the left
ventricle is a very rare disorder and
mostly occursafter large transmural myocardial
infarction (MI).Patients developing
left ventricular (LV)pseudoaneurysm
usually present with angina or heart failure
symptoms. Surgery is the treatment
ofchoice for LV pseudoaneurysm detected
in the first months after MI. Here
we report the case of a 35-year-old man
who presented with chronic asymptomatic
LV pseudoaneurysm.
