Old myocardial infarction with aneurysm formation
Myocardial Infarction: Gross; Left ventricle; a mural thrombus.
Myocardial Infarction: Gross; An excellent example of all ventricular slices in case of healing posterior and healed anterior myocardial infarction. A mural thrombus at apex.
Myocardial Infarction: Gross; A ventricular slice near apex; Large old anterior and posterior transmural infarctions with mural thrombosis.
Myocardial Infarction: Gross; External view showing indented area represent small posterior wall aneurysm.
Myocardial Infarction: Gross; close-up view of anterior wall of left ventricle with dimpling due to aneurysm. Surrounding hyperemia indicates acute infarction.
Myocardial Infarct Scar: Gross; natural color; very large old anterior infarct with wall thinning, mild aneurysm and endocardial thickening. A typical lesion.
