[A case report of multiple pseudoaneurysms of the left ventricle following acute myocardial infarction].

Multiple pseudoaneurysms of the left ventricle following acute myocardial infarction were successfully repaired in a 50-year-old man. Three days after onset of acute myocardial infarction, we electively performed PTCA on the right coronary artery which was completely occluded at the proximal segment. One month after PTCA, the left ventriculogram revealed multiple pseudoaneurysms of the left ventricle. Primary closure of orifices of the pseudoaneurysms was performed using pledgeted mattress sutures under cardiopulmonary bypass. Histology of aneurysm confirmed the diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm.
