Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm – a challenging diagnosis

Abstract: Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of acute myocardial infarction, associated with high mortality. However, it can present in a non-specific manner, complicating and delaying the diagnosis.The authors present the case of a 65-year-old patient, hypertensive, with no other known relevant medical history, who presented with chest pain, cough and left pleural effusion, initially attributed to a pulmonary process. However, these were in fact the result of a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm follow… Show more

“…We have found a paucisymptomatic patient, the first case in our experience, not described in the literature before, who, after an ACS, developed a peculiar left ventricular remodeling, absolutely different from aneurysm (a dilated LV segment delimited by myocardial wall filled with blood) and pseudoaneurysm (which results from myocardial rupture contained by the adjacent pericardium and communicating with the ventricular chamber) commonly described as ACS complications . Intramyocardial dissecting hematoma (IDH) could also be a very unusual complication of myocardial infarction.…”

“…Le faux anévrysme ventriculaire représente une complication rare et tardive d'une chirurgie valvulaire 1,2 . Son incidence n'est pas bien connue et varie entre 0,5 et 2 % selon les auteurs 3,4 . Les premiers cas furent décrits en 1967 par Roberts et Morrow 5,6 après chirurgie valvulaire mitrale, avec un taux de mortalité d'environ 75 % selon le timing et la localisation de la rupture 7,8 .…”

“…La présentation clinique reste aspécifique 1,4,5 , raison pour laquelle sa découverte peut être fortuite ou mise en évidence lors d'un bilan cardiaque pour des plaintes atypiques. Parmi les symptômes rencontrés, on peut citer des douleurs thoraciques sur ischémie myocardique ou inflammation du péricarde, un souffle systolique dans 70 % des cas lié à la régurgitation mitrale par écar tement des muscles papillaires postérieurs 1,8 , ou encore à un flux sanguin au travers du collet de la poche.…”
