Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2019 Nov 15;94(6):874-877. doi: 10.1002/ccd.28405. Epub 2019 Jul 16.

Abstract

Left ventricle pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of myocardial infarction that carries a high risk of mortality. In this report, we present a case of successful percutaneous closure of left ventricle pseudoaneurysm using 3D printing for procedure guidance.

Keywords: myocardial infarction; percutaneous; pseudo-aneurysm.
