Generally, this type of aneurysm is a complication of acute myocardial infarction. We report a 76-year-old woman in whom a left ventricular aneurysm was shown by transthoracic echocardiography 3years after mitral valve replacement. She underwent left ventricular aneurysmectomy via the 4th left intercostal space. The left ventricular aneurysm was separated from the pericardium completely; therefore, this aneurysm was not thought to be pseudoaneurysm. The postoperative course was uneventful and the aneurysm was diagnosed as a subepicardial aneurysm from a histological examination.
