CT imaging of post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect with a contained rupture/pseudoaneurysm

Abstract

This is a CT imaging study of a 63-year-old female who presented to our center with ST segment elevation MI and was found to have life threatening post-MI ventricular septal defect with associated pseudoaneurysm, which was detected on cardiac CTA. The patient refused surgical management and had a successful percutaneous VSD repair.
