摘      要：Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm （LVPA） is a rare clinical entity that could be life-threatening. It could be of congenital and acquired origin. Among the acquired LVPA, post-infarction LVPA constitutes most of the cases. LVPA always occurs after acute myocardial infarction （MI） and develops chronically. Reliable diagnosis and early surgical intervention are vital for the patients＇ recovery. Here we present 7 cases of LVPA in Anzhen Hospital between May 1993 to March 2007, focusing on the evaluation of diagnosis methods and treatment efficiency of LVPA.
