Description
Tan Liu and co-authors reported in 2023 a rare heart case: two kinds of bulge followed a heart attack in the same chamber. One was a true aneurysm, where the wall thins but holds. The other was a giant false one, where the wall has burst and blood is held only by outer tissue.
The fifty-three year old man arrived with racing heart and sweating two months after a stent procedure. Ultrasound showed the two bulges side by side, the false one far larger, linked by a hole in the true one's wall. Three further imaging methods confirmed the picture. Surgeons cut out the false bulge and patched the wall with cow tissue, and he recovered smoothly. The authors stress imaging teamwork.
