title: [A case of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm with severe cardiac failure and premature ventricular beats].
abstract: A surgically successful case of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm 10 years after an acute myocardial infarction was reported. A 63-year-old man had an acute inferior myocardial infarction 10 years ago. Recently congestive heart failure and premature ventricular beats developed. He was diagnosed as a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm by echocardiogram, CT scan, and left ventriculogram. After the operation, the symptoms diminished and improvement of left ventricular function was observed. A brief review of the literature is given.
