An asymptomatic 56-years-old male with a history of a surgical treatment of an ischemic ventricular septal defect was referred for a multimodality imaging evaluation.

Post-operative computed tomography (CT) revealed the presence of a pseudoaneurysm (62*62 mm) originating from left ventricular (LV) inferior wall. The patient was then lost to follow-up.

Multimodality imaging confirmed a huge pseudoaneurysm developed at the expense of an inferior transmural necrosis and helped to evaluate measurement and anatomical relationships to surrounding structures.

The patient underwent a successful surgery with a prosthetic patch closure of the defect reinforced with pledged sutures.
