ABSTRACT
Left ventricular aneurysm is a common sequela of anterior myocardial infarction. At the time of coronary artery bypass grafting, resection of this aneurysm is frequently undertaken to alleviate symptoms of heart failure and/or refractory ventricular tachycardia. Complications related to aneurysmectomy are uncommon. We describe an unusual patient who presented with hemoptysis related to the formation of a pseudoaneurysm which communicated with the lung parenchyma. The etiology of the pseudoaneurysm formation was an indolent, slow-growing infection.
