Introduction
Cardiac pseudoaneurysm is a contained rupture of the cardiac
wall 1. Although myocardial infarction is the main
etiology, traumatic lesions are more commonly described with chest
penetrating as the first cause of
trauma 1.
Cardiac surgery and, rarely, endovascular procedures are also
possible 2–5.
Rarely symptomatic, the risk of stroke or rupture is high and suggests
surgical
treatment 1.
We present the anatomical considerations of a rare case of submitral
pseudoaneurysm in a young woman. We excluded it by a conservative
transmitral approach.
