Left Ventricular False Aneurysm Characterized by Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance and Late Enhancemente Technique
Description
Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of myocardial infarction. Differentiation between true and false aneurysms, although difficult, is crucial, because of the different treatment options they entail. We present a rare case of a giant pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricle related with a previous myocardial infarction. The present case highlights the pivotal role of magnetic resonance imaging for differential diagnosis between these entities.
