Left Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm Demonstrated by 64-Multislice Computed Tomography

A 50-year-old man with a history of left ventricular aneurysmectomy was evaluated with a 64-multislice computed tomogram, which demonstrated left ventricular enlargement and a pseudoaneurysm at the apicolateral side. The images were critical to our management. We resected the pseudoaneurysm with an excellent outcome.

An 11-month-old, female Scottish terrier was presented with a history of a heart murmur. The electrocardiogram showed signs of left ventricular enlargement, and radiography confirmed generalized cardiomegaly. Echocardiography revealed four equally sized aortic valve cusps. A ventricular septal defect, with systolic left-to-right shunting, and aortic regurgitation into both ventricles were also present. The dog was free of clinical signs 1 year after diagnosis.

Purpose: To describe a case of penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer of the aorta with a review of its natural history, diagnosis and management. Case Report: An elderly patient with a history of hypertension presented to the emergency room with the sudden onset of severe chest pain radiating to the back. The electrocardiogram showed left ventricular hypertrophy; the chest radiograph revealed mediastinal widening. Computed tomography was suspicious for a mediastinal hematoma without aortic dissection. Transesophageal echocardiography was also negative for dissection. An aortogram revealed a penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer of the descending thoracic aorta. The patient underwent successful resection and repair of the lesion. Conclusions: Penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer of the aorta is a potentially lethal lesion that must be promptly diagnosed and treated.
