Abstract
We report a case of a 63-year-old woman who presented with pseudoaneur ysm of the free wall of the left ventricle secondary to myocardial inf arction, in the presence of angiographically normal major coronary art eries. This is the only such case we know of, in which the patient und erwent successful surgical correction. Al last follow-up, the patient was in good condition with no evidence of cardiac disease, at 9 years after surgery.
