RESUMO
Left ventricular pseudoaneurysms occur as a consequence of left ventricular free wall rupture contained by pericardium. This clinical situation is an uncommon but lethal complication of acute myocardial infarction. Surgery usually is the preferred therapeutic option but is associated with significant perioperative risk. We present a case of successful percutaneous closure of left ventricular ruptured pseudoaneurysm post myocardial infarction in a patient who failed two previous surgical repairs.
