Image Coelho et al. Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm Arq Bras Cardiol. 2020; 114(4):730-731 Figure 1 - Transthoracic echocardiography (apical 2-chamber view) showing aneurysmal formation (arrow). Figure 2 - Transthoracic echocardiography (short axis view) suggestive of a pseudoaneurysm of the lower left ventricular wall (asterisk). Figure 3 - Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (static cine image, short axis) confirming the presence of a large left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (dashed arrow). RV, right ventricle; LV, left ventricle. Figure 4 - Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, after gadolinium injection, showing thepresenceof lateenhancementoverthepericardial leaflets(arrowheads),supporting the diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm. LA, left atrium; LV, left ventricle. 1. Faustino M, Ranchordás S, Abecasis J, Freitas A, Ferreira M, Gil V, et al. Pseudoaneurisma ventricular esquerdo – um desafio diagnóstico.
