Published: December 2022

Here, we report a case of a 54-year-old man who presented with complications of a left ventricle apical aneurysm, which was the result of a myocardial infarction (MI). Interestingly, he sustained the MI following a cardiac contusion whilst playing rugby 32 years ago. He had another MI 10 years later, despite the presence of normal coronary angiography following the initial event, and presented with two episodes of sustained ventricular tachycardia over six months. The patient proceeded to surgical resection of the aneurysm and went on to make a good recovery.
