Abstract
Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is an extremely rare condition. Here we present a case of a giant left ventricular pseudoaneurysm that developed 2 years after a blunt chest trauma. The patient presented with shortness of breath during exercise. The diagnosis was initially made using chest X-ray and then it was confirmed with echocardiography and computed tomography. The patient underwent successful surgery.
