[Acute aortic dissection in a 34 year old pregnant woman--a case report].

A case of a 34 year old pregnant woman at 38 weeks gestation, who was admitted to the hospital with acute chest pain, is presented. Electrocardiogram showed ST segment changes suggestive of acute myocardial infarction. Echocardiography, however, revealed acute aortic dissection. The patient was transferred to another hospital where caesarean section followed by cardiac surgery were successfully performed. A subsequent one-year follow-up period was uneventful, both for mother and child. Diagnosis and treatment of acute aortic dissection during pregnancy are discussed.

[Postinfarction left ventricular pseudoaneurysm].

Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of heart rupture as a result of acute myocardial infarction, tumour infiltration or infective pericarditis. This pathology is often diagnosed accidentally because of non-specific clinical manifestations such as congestive heart failure or no symptoms at all. Diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm should result in an urgent surgical treatment as the risk of sudden death due to aneurysm rupture is high. In this report we present a patient who underwent successful surgical treatment of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm as a complication of myocardial infarction.
