title: Left ventricular true aneurysm with pseudoaneurysm detected five years and nine months following repair for oozing type free wall rupture.
abstract: A case of true aneurysm of the left ventricle associated with pseudoaneurysm was treated surgically. The condition was detected five years and nine months following repair of an oozing type left ventricular free wall rupture due to myocardial infarction. Over this period, chest radiographs showed gradual cardiomegaly with prominence of the left fourth arch.
