Abstract
Enlarging left ventricular pseudoaneurysms are a rare complication (especially after surgical revascularization) and require tailored surgical decision making and techniques for repair. We present a challenging patient with a rapidly enlarging left ventricular pseudoaneurysm 4 weeks after coronary bypass. The repair was approached through a left thoracotomy using circulatory arrest with selective antegrade cerebral perfusion.
