Abstract:
Ventricular rupture with pseudoaneurysm is a rare phenomenon that usually occurs after myocardial infarction, previous cardiac surgery and infectious or inflammatory conditions. To prevent rupture of the pseudoaneurysm, urgent repair is recommended. We report successful open surgical repair of a 46-year-old man, who presented with pseudoaneurysm communicating with left ventricle.
