Abstract

A recurrent left ventricular false aneurysm 5 years after patch repair and causing progressive congestive heart failure was readily diagnosed by echocardiography and heart catheterization. Its substrate was suture dehiscence of undetermined origin. Urgent repair was successful. The long-term prognosis is guarded.
