True or False? A case of Left Ventricular Aneurysm with Review of
Diagnostic Modalities
Abstract
The preoperative differentiation of left ventricular aneurysm from
pseudoaneurysm is a diagnostic challenge. This distinction is critical
as the timing of surgical correction varies; elective for true aneurysm
versus urgent for pseudoaneurysm. Our aim is to present a case report
demonstrating these difficulties and to review imaging characteristics
and the approach to distinguish the two entities.
