| Popis: | Graphical abstract Highlights • LVOT pseudoaneurysm is a rare but important complication of cardiothoracic surgery. • It can present insidiously and is often detected on surveillance echocardiography. • Anatomy can be difficult to elucidate and is shown best with multi-modality imaging. • It is most commonly associated with previous cardiothoracic surgery and infection. • Surgery remains preferred treatment. Percutaneous occlusion may rarely be considered. |
