Abstract

When a left ventricular aneurysm leads to pulmonary congestive symptoms, aneurysmectomy may provide relief. This retrospective study included 269 patients who underwent aneurysmectomy between 1993 and 2002, by the classic Cooley operation in 164 and by Dor ventriculoplasty in 105. There were no significant differences in early and late survival between groups, although the frequency of extended anteroseptal infarction was higher in patients undergoing the Dor procedure. Postoperative echocardiographic findings showed significant improvements in left ventricular function in both groups, in terms of end-diastolic and end-systolic dimensions and ejection fraction. Left ventricular aneurysmectomy significantly improved the clinical status and hemodynamic parameters of symptomatic patients. The choice of surgical technique depends on the extent of the scar segment, especially the presence of an anteroseptal scarred area. The Dor procedure is more suitable for restoring normal left ventricular geometry in patients with extensive septal infarction.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.
