Abstract

Abstract

Left ventricular apical pseudoaneurysm following myocardial infarction is a rare entity and often fatal due to rupture of free wall, thus warranting an urgent surgery. Although transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) plays a significant role in the diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) remains an indispensable tool during perioperative period. In this report, we are describing a case of left ventricular apical pseudoaneurysm planned for an urgent surgery.
