Left ventricle perforation and pseudoaneurysm with an unusual presentation of a patient with stomach ache. Case report.

A 49-year-old man admitted with a 3 weeks history of stomachache and without any cardiac symptoms and diagnosed as pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricle is reported. The repair was performed with the aid of cardiopulmonary bypass, defect was repaired with Gore-tex patch and myocardial tissues were approximated and closed by using two Teflon stripes. BioGlue was applied on the sutures and between the stripes. We report this unusual case because rarity and high clinical index of suspicion is needed to make correct diagnosis in such patients. Although there is a significantly high mortality of the pseudoaneurysm cases their repair can and should be performed as an urgent procedure.
