title: Surgical treatment of postinfarction left ventricular pseudoaneurysm.
abstract: In this report, we present two cases who had left ventricular pseudoaneurysm, resection, and repair was done successfully. The repair was performed with the aid of cardiopulmonary bypass. The neck of the pseudoaneurysm was closed with autologous fresh pericardial patch. The surgical treatment of ventricular pseudoaneurysm depends upon their origin, size, and local extension.
