Introduction Clinical outcomes after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are determined by the initial morphological and functional alterations resulting from myocardial necrosis ( 1 , 2 , 3 ). Infarct size (IS) is a strong predictor of

Background A pseudoaneurysm (Ps) of the left ventricle (LV) is a severe complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) resulting from a free cardiac wall rupture that is contained by the pericardium, thrombus or adhesions ( 1 ). Most
