Abstract:
The effects of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm following transmural myocardial infarction can be devastating; therefore, prompt diagnosis and surgical resection are warranted. We report a rare case of recurrent left ventricular pseudoaneurysm in which color-flow Doppler echocardiography was useful in establishing the diagnosis.
