Percutaneous closure of a giant left ventricular wall pseudoaneurysm: Anterograde approach with a double snare technique
Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of acute myocardial infarction, cardiac surgery, trauma or infection.Since surgical repair is associated with high morbidity and mortality, percutaneous closure has been described as an alternative.In this regard, we present a case in which a sy...
