Abstract

We present the clinical case of a 61-year-old man who presented in the emergency room with hematemesis. In the evaluation a large pseudoaneurysm in the lateral wall of the left ventricle secondary to a myocardial infarction of indeterminate time of evolution was incidentally found. Different imaging techniques were used to define the characteristics of the pseudoaneurysm and to plan the therapeutic approach. This clinical case is a good example of an incidental finding in a cardiac imaging test that can have a deep influence in the prognosis of a patient. Likewise, we hypothesized the association of an acute myocardial infarction secondary and stress gastritis.
