Presence of two combined mechanical complications of acute myocardial infarction is extremely rare and still associated with a high-operative mortality. We describe a 73-year-old male patient who presented with a giant left ventricular pseudoaneurysm associated with rupture of the interventricular septum. Surgical repair of both lesions was successfully accomplished.

Abstract
Presence of two combined mechanical complications of acute myocardial infarction is extremely rare and still associated with a high-operative mortality. We describe a 73-year-old male patient who presented with a giant left ventricular pseudoaneurysm associated with rupture of the interventricular septum. Surgical repair of both lesions was successfully accomplished.File in questo prodotto:
