Abstract
We present the case of a patient with left ventricular pseudoaneurysm following acute myocardial infarction. Survival for 2 years following diagnosis, despite the large size of the aneurysm, and subsequent management with cardiac transplantation represent unusual and interesting aspects of this complication of myocardial infarction.
