Pseudoaneurysm following high lateral myocardial infarction: A case report

Objective & Hypothesis:Male patient with a history of high lateral myocardial infarction experienced 45 days before admission was accepted to our clinic with the initial diagnosis of congestive heart failure.

📊

Key Findings & Data:Physical examination revealed 2-3°/6 systolic murmur in the mesocardiac region.

💡

Conclusion & Impact:The symptoms of heart failure disappeared after successful surgical repair.

🔬Design:Research Article

📍Scope:Comprehensive Sample

⚙️Variables:Domain Parameters

Abstract

Male patient with a history of high lateral myocardial infarction experienced 45 days before admission was accepted to our clinic with the initial diagnosis of congestive heart failure. Physical examination revealed 2-3°/6 systolic murmur in the mesocardiac region. Telecardiography revealed a mass of 12x6 cms in the left hilus. Pseudoaneurysm was diagnosed by transthoracic echocardiography and followed by left ventriculography. The symptoms of heart failure disappeared after successful surgical repair.
