Abstract

Ventricular pseudoaneurysm (PSA) is a rare, yet life-threatening complication of myocardial infarction, cardiac surgery, and transcatheter valve replacement. Although conventional surgery is the preferred treatment strategy, transcatheter closure has emerged as an effective alternative in selected candidates. In this report, we describe successful transcatheter closure of two unique cases of ventricular pseudoaneurysm (PSA): first, a complex post-myocardial infarction left ventricular PSA (LVPSA) with multi-communications, and second, a case of post-traumatic right ventricular PSA (RVPSA) following blunt chest injury caused by domestic violence.
