title: Giant left ventricular aneurysm complicating silent inferoposterior myocardial infarction.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  True ventricular aneurysm in the inferior location is rare. A 54-year-old male was evaluated for recurrent heart failure.
  
  
  METHODS
  The echocardiogram showed large aneurysm arising from the inferoposterior wall of the left ventricle and severe mitral regurgitation.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The coronary angiogram revealed occluded right coronary artery (RCA) in the mid segment.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The patient underwent aneurysm repair and coronary artery bypass grafting to RCA.
