    Summary

    False left ventricular aneurysms after myocardial infarction result from perforation and typically need prompt surgery. Diagnosis relies on imaging like chest X-rays, echocardiography, CT, and angiography.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • False aneurysms of the left ventricle are a rare but serious complication following myocardial infarction.
    • These pseudoaneurysms arise from ventricular wall perforation and often necessitate urgent surgical intervention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinical presentation and diagnostic approaches for false left ventricular aneurysms.
    • To report the authors' experience with managing nine cases of post-myocardial infarction false aneurysms.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical data and diagnostic imaging from nine patients with false left ventricular aneurysms.
    • Utilized chest X-ray, echocardiography, computed tomography (CT), and angiocardiography for diagnosis.

    Main Results:

    • Clinical features of false aneurysms are often non-specific, making diagnosis challenging.
    • Imaging modalities including chest X-ray, echocardiography, and CT provide crucial diagnostic evidence.
    • Angiocardiography confirmed the diagnosis in all cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Early diagnosis and surgical treatment are critical for managing false left ventricular aneurysms post-myocardial infarction.
    • A combination of non-invasive and invasive imaging techniques is essential for accurate diagnosis.
