[Acute aneurysm with prerupture of the left ventricle following inferior infarct]
Abstract:
A large infero-posterior aneurysm of the left ventricle following myocardial infarction is reported, which still showed the echo- and angiocardiographic criteria of a true aneurysm. Because of concomitant pericardial effusion a prerupture was suspected. A resection showed that the wall of the aneurysm was composed of epicardium and thrombi only.
