Abstract:
Ventricular pseudoaneurysm is an uncommonly encountered complication of myocardial infarction (MI) in the era of percutaneous coronary intervention. Its presentation can be very non-specific, and diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion. Urgent surgical repair is generally warranted to prevent potentially catastrophic complications. We present a case of patient who presented several days after his index MI. He was ultimately diagnosed with a ruptured pseudoaneurysm, and despite best efforts had a complicated hospital course.
