Ultrasound diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm and contiguous ventricular septal defect complicating inferior myocardial infarction

K Hamilton, K Ellenbogen, JE Lowe, and J Kisslo

Two patients with recent inferior myocardial infarction were found by two-dimensional and Doppler echocardiography to have both an inferior wall pseudoaneurysm and a contiguous rupture of the posterior ventricular septum. The pseudoaneurysm was not suspected clinically in either patient. In one patient, a complex or dissecting septal rupture was visualized in detail. To our knowledge, the combined defect has not previously been diagnosed during life by noninvasive methods.
