Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Biventricular pseudoaneurysm is an infrequent complication following myocardial infarction. The diagnosis is complex and has a high risk of rupture. Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) and Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) are crucial for diagnosing. We present the case of a 79-year-old man who experienced PCI for AMI. Subsequent TTE revealed an apical pseudoaneurysm. To confirm the diagnosis and observe the progression, follow-up TTE and CMR were performed, confirming the pseudoaneurysm involved both ventricles with secondary left-to-right shunting. Surgical repair was performed, with postoperative TTE demonstrating the complete resolution of shunts.
