Individualized treatment of a chronic and giant thrombosed left ventricular pseudoaneurysm with non-obstructive coronary artery disease:a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (LVP) is a rare complication, typically following a prior myocardial infarction. Clinical manifestations are diverse and non-specific, posing significant challenges for early diagnosis. Given the high risk of complete rupture, LVP is typically associated with poor prognosis, necessitating urgent surgery for survival.
