## TL;DR

A rare case of a heart wall rupture was found over a year after a heart procedure using MRI.

## Contribution

This case highlights a delayed complication of a common heart intervention.

## Key findings

- A left ventricular pseudoaneurysm was detected more than one year after a coronary intervention.
- Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was crucial in identifying the complication.

## Abstract

Pseudoaneurysm is a rare but lethal complication of acute myocardial infarction. In this study, we present a unique case of a patient with left ventricular free wall rupture detected by cardiac magnetic resonance more than 1 year after a percutaneous transluminal coronary intervention.
