Abstract

We present a case of a 66-year-old male with a history of two previous diagnoses of myocardial infarction, followed by drug-eluting stent implantation. During the check-up, he complained of dyspnea, fatigue, and dizziness. Echocardiography revealed a massive left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (LVP). According to the patient's clinical manifestations and radiologic data, urgent surgical intervention was performed. Postoperatively, several complications appeared, which were managed successfully. The patient was discharged in stable condition. This is an interesting case of massive LVP without hemodynamic instability.

Keywords: Dor technique; aneurysmectomy; left ventricular aneurysm.
