Abstract:
False aneurysms of the left ventricle are rare complications of myocardial infarction. In this unusual case, a 57-year-old male patient had a false aneurysm, that took origin from a true aneurysm in the inferior wall, both discovered 7 years postinfarct. The aneurysms were demonstrable by ventriculography and were resected because of ventricular tachycardia.
