Abstract:
Two patients with large left ventricular false aneurysms due to CABG-occlusion, myocardial infarction, and ventricular free wall rupture are reported. Colorflow cardiac Doppler showing blood flow at the site of the perforation and in the false aneurysm revealed the diagnosis noninvasively. Because of the high incidence of rupture of false aneurysms, surgical management is essential.
