Case 1: Left Main-Left Anterior Descending Artery Pseudoaneurysm With Operative Correlation
(A) Coronary angiography showing pseudoaneurysmal dilatation involving the distal left main and proximal left anterior descending artery. (B) Parasternal short-axis transthoracic echocardiographic view demonstrating the left anterior descending artery stent with surrounding pseudoaneurysm. (C) Midesophageal transesophageal echocardiographic view showing severe mitral regurgitation and flow into the involved left anterior descending artery segment. (D) Coronary computed tomography angiography demonstrating a large collection surrounding the stented segment of the left main-left anterior descending arteries (black arrow). (E) Electrocardiogram during in-hospital ischemic deterioration showing ST-segment elevation in aVL and ST-segment depression in inferior and lateral chest leads. (F) Intraoperative image showing the opened pseudoaneurysm cavity with purulent material (black arrow).
