Abstract

Pseudoaneurysm is a rare but lethal complication of acute myocardial infarction. In this study, we present a unique case of a patient with left ventricular free wall rupture detected by cardiac magnetic resonance more than 1 year after a percutaneous transluminal coronary intervention.

Keywords: CMR (cardiovascular magnetic resonance); PCI—percutaneous coronary intervention; cardiac magnetic resonance; myocardial infarction; pseudoaneurysm.
