Pseudoaneurysm of the Left Ventricle: Diagnosis by Gated Radioisotope Imaging

Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory, Kaiser-Permanente Medical Center, San Francisco, California, Department of Medicine, Kaiser-Permanente Medical Center, South San Francisco, California

Because pseudoaneurysms of the left ventricle, although rare, can rupture, their differentiation from true aneurysm is desirable. A case is described in which a pseudoaneurysm was diagnosed noninvasively by means of a gated ra dioisotope ventriculogram. The diagnosis was made by noting a narrow neck leading to a large chamber. The pseudoaneurysm was successfully excised at surgery.
