- In this video we review a challenging case of a 48-year-old woman presenting with chest pain. We explore the role of Echo, CT, and MRI imaging, and highlight how surprising and dramatic results led to a diagnosis of a Left Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm (LVPA). Using excellent intraoperative surgical video, we also explore the best surgical approach to treating LVPA.
