Post infarction left ventricular pseudoaneurysm properly diagnosed clinically and angiographically and successfully treated surgically.

A case of pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricle following acute myocardial infarction is reported. The condition was accurately diagnosed by left ventricular angiography and successfully treated by surgical resection of a massive false aneurysm.
