Unusual symptom in patient with pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricle and review of the literature.
Year: 1982
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: A case of pseudoaneurysm developing 2 years after left ventricular aneurysmectomy and single coronary artery bypass graft is reported. A hypothesis that pseudoaneurysms developing after transmyocardial incision begin in surgery or shortly thereafter is postulated. Chest X-ray films as a preliminary test to direct attention to the diagnosis are recommended. An aggressive surgical approach is suggested. To our knowledge, this is the sixth known reported case in the literature with hemoptysis as the chief symptomatic feature.
