Surgical treatment of a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm with an extracellular matrix patch
Indian J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2024 May;40(3):381-383. doi: 10.1007/s12055-023-01669-3. Epub 2023 Dec 28.
ABSTRACT
Left ventricle pseudoaneurysm is a rare and life-threatening complication of myocardial infarction that is formed as a result of left ventricle free wall rupture contained by the overlying pericardium. Urgent surgical repair is crucial, and in most reports, left ventricle was reconstructed with a Dacron or bovine pericardial patch. We present a case of a 66-year-old female with left ventricle pseudoaneurysm which was successfully repaired with an extracellular matrix patch.
