| Abstract: | Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of myocardial infarction, but it may also result from cardiac surgery, endocarditis, chest trauma, tumours, electrophysiological studies and congenital defects. An accidentally discovered uncommon case of a post-traumatic pseudoaneurysm that produced a selective compression of the circumflex coronary artery during systole is reported. |
