Abstract
A case of a 64-year-old man is described, who was diagnosed as having a false aneurysm of the left ventricle, or pseudoaneurysm, a year following an inferior wall myocardial infarction. The echocardiogram demonstrated the presence of two ways of entry which communicated the inferior wall of the left ventricle to the false aneurysm. The patient was taken to surgery, where the diagnosis was confirmed. Aspects related to the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of this case are discussed.
