Abstract
We present two cases of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm that developed after left ventricular aneurysm repair with the CorRestore patch (Somanetics Corp, Troy, MI). Both patients underwent subsequent pseudoaneurysm repair with Dacron patches (Boston Scientific Corp, Natick, MA). We discuss the physiologic limitations of the CorRestore patch and the causes of pseudoaneurysms that arise after left ventricular aneurysm repair.
