Infective Endocarditis Diagnosis and Management

Coincidence of true and false left ventricular aneurysm is very rare. To date 6 cases have been reported in the world literature. We present a case of false aneurysm emanating from a posterior true aneurysm of the left ventricle. These findings were demonstrated preoperatively by transesophageal echocardiography and were confirmed at operation. The aneurysms were successfully resected and the ventricle repaired.
