Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm causing coronary angiography images resembling myocardial bridging

Int J Cardiovasc Imaging. 2007 Apr;23(2):135-8. doi: 10.1007/s10554-006-9112-9. Epub 2006 Jul 5.

Abstract

Acquired pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricle is a rare disorder that usually occurs after transmural myocardial infarction or after cardiac surgery. Pseudoaneurysms are usually detected because of symptoms; less often incidentally. Here we present a case of pseudoaneurysm as a result of unknown etiology causing myocardial bridging like image at angiography.
