Abstract in English
We studied 67 cases of left ventricular aneurysm following a myocardial
infarction through 1993 to 2002.
22 Patients had only aneurysmectomy
45 Patients had aneurysmectomy + CABG + Mitral surgery.
Death percentage in the first year after surgery was 8.9 %.
The good clinical and haemodynamical results are due to the clear
indication of surgery on patients who had more than 25% of the LVDV
involved by aneurysm.
