Res Cardiovasc Med. 2013 Feb;2(1):70-3. doi: 10.5812/cardiovascmed.7274. Epub 2013 Feb 24.

Abstract

The preoperative and surgical management of a giant left ventricular pseudoaneurysm(LVP) associated with aortic valve replacement in a 76 year old male Jehovah's Witness patient is reported. The satisfactory recovery observed in this patient demonstrates the feasibility of this complex surgical procedure even in this particular patient population.
