Left Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm in a Patient With an Apical Aneurysm.

ABSTRACT: Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a potentially life-threatening complication of acute myocardial infarction. Timely diagnosis is crucial to improve the patient's prognosis. We describe a multimodality diagnostic approach with emphasis on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging for a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm found surreptitiously in 72-year-old man 2 weeks following an acute myocardial infarction. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.).

Left ventricular apical aneurysm in chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy-A case report.

Project description:A 56-year-old female, who immigrated to the USA from Honduras, presented with worsening shortness of breath, orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, and decreased exercise tolerance over the previous 2 months. She was diagnosed 1 year previously with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy and non-sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia. An implantable cardioverter defibrillator was placed. Cause for her dilated cardiomyopathy was unknown at that time. On admission, her electrocardiogram showed low voltage complexes, with frequent premature ventricular contractions. Transthoracic two-dimensional echocardiogram (2D ECHO) showed severely reduced ejection fraction of 20%, severe mitral regurgitation with left ventricular (LV) hypokinesis, and inferolateral and inferior wall akinesis. On review of her records, a contrast 2D ECHO from the previous year revealed an aneurysm of the LV apical region. Live three-dimensional (3D) ECHO on her present admission showed persistent LV apical aneurysm. Computed tomography angiogram showed no atherosclerotic lesions. Multiple episodes of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia were recorded on telemetry. Based on these findings, the diagnosis of Chagas cardiomyopathy was entertained. Serological tests for Trypanosoma cruzi antibodies were done and returned positive. We report a case of chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy that was initially missed but ultimately diagnosed based on the finding of LV apical aneurysm. <Learning objective: Chagas cardiomyopathy is becoming increasingly prevalent in non-endemic countries. One hallmark finding associated with Chagas cardiomyopathy is left ventricle apical aneurysm. We were able to identify this finding with transthoracic contrast 2D ECHO and live 3D ECHO.>.

Decoding Postinfarction Left Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm.

Project description: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.).

Left apical aneurysm in a patient with severe aortic valve stenosis.

Project description:We report on a very rare case of left ventricular aneurysm in a 77-year-old patient with aortic valve stenosis and without coronary artery disease. The patient underwent conventional aortic valve replacement and left ventricular aneurysmectomy with an uneventful postoperative course. The cause of the left ventricular aneurysm was suspected to be a long history of aortic valve stenosis that led to severe intraventricular hypertension, subsequently asymmetric septum hypertrophy, and finally apical aneurysm.
