RESUMEN
Left ventricular (LV) rupture after myocardial infarction (MI) occasionally results in formation of LV pseudoaneurysm (LVPA) which is prone to rupture because of its thin wall. However, cases of LVPA without ST changes including segment elevation in electrocardiogram (ECG) are rare. In this case, we describe a patient who had relatively mild symptoms and giant LVPA with no specific ECG changes following MI with a confirmed diagnosis via transthoracic echocardiography. Although surgical treatment options are often recommended, conservative therapy was adopted, following which the patient had been well-medicated using antihypertensive drugs and anticoagulants.
