title: [Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm. An old problem, a new option].
abstract: We describe the case of a 61 year-old female patient admitted to the hospital with acute lateral myocardial infarction, in pulmonary edema, who evolved to cardiogenic shock in the first hours. Transesophageal echodoppler-cardiogram and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging showed the diagnosis of a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm. Surgical repair was successfully undertaken.
