Abstract

A 77-year-old man sustained an inferior myocardial infarction. Four months later, echocardiography and left ventricular cineangiogram suggested the aneurysm communicated through a small orifice. At operation the inferiorly positioned aneurysm was not so adherent, and was opened directly. The small orifice was closed with a felt patch to cover the pericardium inside. Microscopic examination of the aneurysm wall showed myocardial tissue. We treated a rare case of pseudo-false aneurysm by left ventricular plasty, and the postoperative left ventricular function was satisfactory.
