CLINICOPATHOLOGIC CORRELATIONS True and False Left Ventricular Aneurysms
نویسنده
چکیده
Two cases are described of sudden death resulting from rupture of small chronic false aneurysm of the left ventricle with secondary hemopericardium. The cases support the point that rupture of chronic false left ventricular aneurysm tends to occur. This appears to be contrary to the potential for chronic true aneurysms of the left ventricle which tend not to rupture. Rupture of true left ventricular aneurysm in its developing stage may, however, occur.

Coincidence of true and false left ventricular aneurysms after myocardial infarction.
False aneurysm of the left ventricle is a rare complication of myocardial infarction. In this case cross sectional echocardiography demonstrated the presence of both true and false left ventricular aneurysms. This was confirmed at operation when both aneurysms were successfully resected.
متن کاملEvidence of the inaccuracy of standard echocardiographic and angiographic criteria used for the recognition of true and "false" left ventricular inferior aneurysms.
Diagnosis of so-called false aneurysms of the left ventricle after infarction is judged to be important because the risk of rupture is high and resection of aneurysms with a narrow orifice is usually successful. Aneurysms with larger communication orifices are less likely to rupture. Echocardiographic and angiographic criteria have been devised to classify left ventricular aneurysms into two di...

متن کاملMassive Left Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm
A 50-year-old woman presented to the operating room for repair of a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm. She had a history of cardiac sarcoidosis which had manifested as dilated cardiomyopathy and recurrent ventricular tachycardia, which was treated with an endocardial/epicardial ablation six months ago. Transesophageal echocardiography at the transgastric basal short axis view demonstrated a 4 cm ...
متن کاملIschaemic ventricular aneurysms: true or false?
Left ventricular aneurysm is a common complication of acute myocardial infarction. The reported incidence ranges from 4%, if the definition is restricted to a localised protrusion of the extemal aspect of the left ventricle, to 40%, if localised akinesia or dyskinesia during systole is the criterion.' It has become a common clinical practice to classify ven-tricular aneurysms with an external b...
