Ventricular pseudoaneurysm after transaortic septal myotomy for hypertrophic subaortic stenosis
TL Spray, WM Derkac, AG Morrow and WC Roberts
Clinical and morphological features are described in a man in whom a
pseudoaneurysm arising from the ventricular septum developed after
transaortic septotomy for hypertrophic subaortic stenosis. Pseudoaneurysm
of the left ventricle or ventricular septum has not been described
previously in a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in whom only the
transaortic approach was utilized for septotomy or septectomy or both. In
addition, no previous studies have reported pseudoaneurysm arising from the
ventricular septum.
