Abstract :
Left ventricular free wall rupture is a fatal complication of acute myocardial infarction. Emergency surgical repair is usually
indicated to treat this condition. However, in very high surgical risk cohort, conservative treatment can also be considered. We
report a case of left ventricle pseudoaneurysm that was successfully treated conservatively in a 4-year period.
