چکیده (انگلیسی):

Sutureless repair is an effective procedure for acute left ventricular free wall
rupture; however, it may be complicated with a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm during the
late postoperative period. We present a case of a large ventricular pseudoaneurysm that
occurred after the sutureless repair of an inferior myocardial infarction with oozing left ventricular
free wall rupture. The patient underwent aneurysmectomy successfully. Serial magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) indicated that the necrotic left ventricular wall, which was
covered by Teflon felt, had ruptured and developed a pseudoaneurysm. Therefore, after simple
gluing for a left ventricular free wall rupture, patients should undergo careful follow-up
evaluation for potential pseudoaneurysm. Moreover, early detection by MRI and prompt surgical
repair of the complication are important in patients with left ventricular free wall rupture.
