Case report: large left ventricular aneurysm with contained rupture and haemopericardium

Abstract: Background Recent advancements in cardiology have significantly decreased the incidence of post-myocardial infarction mechanical complications. When these sequelae occur, they can have high morbidity and mortality and may require aggressive intervention. Case Summary We describe a case of contained rupture of a large left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) presenting with syncope in a 60-year-old male with late presentation myocardia… Show more

“…Recent advancements in the field of cardiology have led to a notable reduction in the occurrence of mechanical complications following an MI. In cases where these subsequent issues arise, their potential for morbidity and mortality is significant, often necessitating aggressive medical intervention [9]. The crucial step in managing patients with LVAs is conducting a thorough diagnostic workup that can effectively differentiate between an aneurysm and a pseudoaneurysm, as this distinction is pivotal in guiding the appropriate treatment approach [10].…”
