Bacterial infection (Salmonella enteritidis) of left ventricular true and false aneurysm in a 62-year-old man was followed by septic saddle embolus. The septic saddle embolus was removed and the aneurysm was later resected with coronary bypass grafting. The patient is alive with satisfactory function over 5 years postoperatively.
