CTICasesLeft ventricular lateral wall aneurysm
Imaging findings
Cardiac CT demonstrates thin-walled, focal aneurysmal bulge of the left ventricular lateral wall, associated with chronic ischemia/infarction of the circumflex coronary artery territory.
Key takeaways
Left ventricular aneurysms most commonly involve the apex or anterior wall. Lateral wall aneurysms are less common and are typically caused by chronic ischemia or infarction in the circumflex coronary artery distribution.
