Asymptomatic large unruptured left ventricular pseudoaneurysm

To characterise the aneurysm the patient then underwent computed tomographic angiography which showed a blocked saphenous vein graft to the distal left anterior descending coronary artery and a 9 mm anterior apical defect communicating through a narrow neck with a large pseudo-aneurysm measuring 6.4...
