From: Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm associated with infective endocarditis: an autopsy case report
A Cut section of the left ventricle of the heart shows a large, mobile vegetations affecting the left coronary cusp of the aortic valve (arrow). The right coronary cusp is slightly affected. B There is a hollow area within the myocardium beneath the vegetations, with an ulcerated opening (arrow). C Cut section of the bulging epicardial surface of the left ventricle revealed large amount of blood clots within the myocardium (arrow). D The pseudoaneurysm contains blood clots and impinges on the coronary artery. The surrounding myocardium is hemorrhagic and soft in consistency, in keeping with acute myocardial infarction (arrows)
