case_images: The ECG demonstrated sinus rhythm, and echocardiography revealed a massive left ventricular false aneurysm located in the inferolateral wall, with reduced ventricular function (EF of 32%), LVED of 175 ml, and moderate mitral regurgitation (Figure 1).
case_images: Images of chest computed tomography; (A) frontal view, (B) sagittal view, (C) axial view, (D) 3D volume rendering confirm the diagnosis of giant left ventricular pseudoaneurysm

case_images: A chest computer tomography (CT) with intravenous contrast demonstrated a large (8.6 x 6.8 cm) narrow-necked aneurysm arising from the base of the inferior and lateral walls of the left ventricle (Figure 2).

case_images: The aneurysmectomy was performed using the Dor technique with endoventricular circular patchplasty, simultaneously with cardiac bypass surgery (CABG) and mitral valve annuloplasty (Figure 3).
