Ischemic Stroke in a Patient with Challenging Pseudoaneurysm in the Left Ventricular Outflow Tract

Introduction

Literature shows cases of cardiac neocavities, often associated with pseudoaneurysms resulting from traumatic injuries or fistulized periprosthetic abscesses involving the left ventricle (LV).

Cardiac pseudoaneurysms are typically complications of acute myocardial infarction but can also occur in the late postoperative period of valve surgery. Certain areas are particularly prone to the development of ascending aortic pseudoaneurysms. Generally, these events occur in sites where aortic cannulation and clamping take place, as well as in the areas of graft sutures.
