Multimodal Imaging Diagnosis of Apical Ventricular Aneurysm With Thrombosis Resulting From Blunt Myocardial Injury: A Case Report

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This article presents the case of a male patient who sustained blunt myocardial injury following a traffic accident. A series of diagnostic imaging procedures were conducted on the patient, including electrocardiography, echocardiography, computed tomography angiography, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, which demonstrated edema in a portion of the myocardium and the formation of a ventricular aneurysm with thrombus in the left ventricular apex. After 6 months and 1 year, echocardiography demonstrated no detection of thrombus, but the apical left ventricular aneurysm was not significantly different from the anterior film, leading to a final clinical diagnosis of blunt cardiac injury (BCI).
