Abstract

Pseudoaneurysm is one of the complications after arterial cannulation. We report the case of a patient with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction due to aortic pseudoaneurysm after surgical mitralvalvuloplasty. Careful evaluation should be performed in cases of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction following cardiac surgery, even after several months.
