Mechanical Non-ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Secondary to Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Pseudoaneurysm: A Unique Entity.

ABSTRACT: We present a unique case of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) secondary to external coronary artery compression from a left ventricular outflow tract pseudoaneurysm in a postsurgical aortic valve replacement (AVR) patient, subsequently sealed with a pericardial patch. We highlight this rare presentation of ACS in postsurgical AVR patients and the importance of multimodality imaging and treatment of this unique, potentially serious sequela. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
