Abstract
A 43-yr-old man collapsed suddenly, with pericardial tamponade, 7 wk after an inferior myocardial infarction. Pericardiocentesis disclosed very heavily blood-stained fluid. Left ventricular angiography 10 days later showed a left ventricular aneurysm. At operation, a left ventricular false aneurysm was resected and the patient recovered uneventfully.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
