Abstract
Left ventricular aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms are rare in the pediatric population. We report a case of a preterm neonate with critical aortic valve stenosis who developed a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm and perforation following transcatheter balloon aortic valvuloplasty on day four of life. The possible etiologies of myocardial injury and the unique surgical repair technique are discussed.
