Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm perceived as a left lung mass

Sol ventrikül psödoanevrizması anevrizmektominin nadir bir komplikasyonudur. Çalışmamızda üç yıl önce koroner arter bypass graftı ve sol ventrikül anevrizmektomisi ile teşhisi konulan sonrasında cerrahi olarak sol ventrikül psödoanevrizması tedavi edilen bir vakayı sunuyoruz. Burada ayrıca eşlik eden semptomlar, teşhis değerlendirmesi ve cerrahi tedavi prosedürleri anlatılacaktır.

Sol ventrikül psödoanevrizması olarak algılanan sol akciğer kitlesi

Left ventricular pseudo-aneurysm is a rare complication of aneurysmectomy. We present a case of surgically-treated left ventricular pseudo-aneurysm which was diagnosed three years after coronary artery bypass grafting and left ventricular aneurysmectomy. The presenting symptoms, diagnostic evaluation and surgical repair are described.
