Ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a rare but well-known complication after valvular endocarditis. The lesion was localised exactly where pre-operative CT scan showed lack of enhancement in the postero-lateral wall of the left ventricle. This case demonstrates how much attention must be paid to myocardial CT images and emphazises the need of close follow-up in patients with infective endocartitis.
心室假性动脉瘤是瓣膜性心内膜炎后一种罕见但广为人知的并发症。病变恰好位于术前CT扫描显示左心室后壁强化缺失的部位。该病例表明必须对心肌CT图像给予高度关注，并强调了感染性心内膜炎患者密切随访的必要性。
