title: Second successful surgical ventricular reconstruction: a cardiac magnetic resonance imaging illustration.
abstract: This case reports a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) illustration of a successful ventricular reconstruction of a left ventricle pseudoaneurysm that developed four months after postmyocardial infarction ventricular repair. Thus, preoperative non-invasive MRI techniques are valuable diagnostic tools in this setting. Indeed, the present case shows that MRI greatly helped in the management and surgical decision-making.
