Abstract

Recognizing true from pseudo left ventricular aneurysm after myocardial infarction is paramount to guide clinical management and determine need for surgical urgency. We discuss a case of a postinfarction pseudoaneurysm that poses unique anatomic challenges and may hold a secret “DaVinci code” beyond current diagnostic criteria. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.) [Display omitted]

acute myocardial infarction

complications

coronary artery disease

pseudoaneurysm
