Abstract

Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (LV-PsA) is a critical finding that could result in a fatal outcome. It may complicate myocardial infarction, cardiac surgery, trauma, or endocarditis but rarely follows pericarditis. We report a case of infectious pericarditis complicated by pericardial tamponade in an infant. After effusion drainage and medical therapy, a large LV-PsA was detected. Successful closure of the pseudoaneurysm᾽s neck was accomplished using a Gore-tex patch.
