Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a rare but serious clinicopathologic entity.
This article describes a case report of 51-year-old man who experienced recurrence of chest pain and dyspnea 4 months later after anterior ST elevation myocardial infarction of first diagonal branch. Anterior basal left ventricular pseudoaneurysm was diagnosed and successful surgical treatment was performed. One year after operation, patient has no cardiovascular events and remains in NYHA class II.
Cardiac magnetic resonance should be performed, if there is a suspicion of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm from transthoracic echocardiography. Surgery is the treatment of choice in case of left ventricular pseudoaneuryms because untreated lesions carry a significantly high risk of rupture.
左心室假性动脉瘤是一种罕见但严重的临床病理实体。
本文描述了一例 51 岁男性的病例报告,该患者在前降支第一对角支 ST 段抬高性心肌梗死后 4 个月再次出现胸痛和呼吸困难。诊断为前基底左心室假性动脉瘤,并成功进行了手术治疗。术后 1 年,患者无心血管事件,纽约心脏协会心功能分级仍为 II 级。
如果经胸超声心动图怀疑存在左心室假性动脉瘤,应进行心脏磁共振检查。对于左心室假性动脉瘤,手术是首选治疗方法,因为未治疗的病变破裂风险显著增加。
