ABSTRACT
Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a rare but fatal complication of acute myocardial infarction. It occurs as a consequence of rupture of the ventricular free wall and is confined by a portion of pericardium. The pseudoaneurysm extended to lateral side of the left atrium is rare. We report a case of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm extended to lateral side of the left atrium in a 83-year-old man.
