Urgent surgery is generally indicated for left ventricular (LV) pseudoaneurysms, especially for large or expanding lesions. However, management of pseudoaneurysms complicated by acute intracerebral hemorrhage is controversial. This case of a giant LV pseudoaneurysm followed a successful postoperative course after 4 weeks of conservative management followed by surgical repair and may suggest a safe and efficient management.
