Abstract

Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm complicating myocardial infarction is extremely rare. A case of left ventricular anterolateral pseudoaneurysm with its initial presentation mimicking septic shock is reported. The need for urgent resection is stressed due to the high incidence of spontaneous rupture and death regardless of the age or the size of the pseudoaneurysm.
