| Popis: | Pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricle is an uncommon abnormality rarely diagnosed correctly before death. Usually in adults the underlying cause has been found to be severe coronary arterial disease (Hurst, Fine and Keyes, 1963; Bjornsson, 1964; Cone and Hawley, 1964; Roberts and Morrow, 1967, Chesler et al., 1969; Ersek et al., 1969; Gobel, Vidsudh and Edwards, 1971) although in one previous case no abnormality was demonstrated by coronary ateriography (Gueron et al., 1973). Other causes include both penetrating (Jamshidi and Berry, 1965) and non-penetrating (O'Reilly, Kazenelson and Spellberg, 1970) chest trauma and rupture of a cardiotomy wound (Bross, 1967). The formation of a pseudoaneurysm carries a poor prognosis but surgical correction is feasible and may favourably alter the outcome, particularly if a correct and detailed anatomic diagnosis can be made prior to surgery (Gueron et al., 1973). This report describes the clinical and radiological features of a unique case of left ventricular pseudoane... |
