Post-traumatic ventricular pseudoaneurysms are a rare complication of chest trauma that necessitate surgical correction. In this case report, we describe a 22-year-old male patient presenting with a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm 45 days following primary surgical repair of a penetrating left ventricular injury with a background of stabbing chest trauma. The pseudoaneurysm was successfully surgically treated at our hospital after a thorough evaluation despite the vague clinical presentation at the time of referral. The patient fully recovered afterward and his case enriched our understanding of this life-threatening yet rare complication.
