Left Ventricular Endoaneurysmorrhaphy

A Case Report

Andrew S. Olearchyk, M.D., F.A.C.S.

Section of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Episcopal Hospital, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Left ventricular endoaneurysmorrhaphy (LVEA) by internal (synthetic) patch and external (wrapped aneurysmal wall) repair reduces the size of the left ventricle (LV) with preservation of a natural geometry, stabilizes a normal myocardium during systole, and prevents diastolic overdistention. The wrapped aneurysmal wall may contribute to systolic augmentation if it contains some muscular tissue and if it is revascularized. LVEA is warranted for LV aneurysms caused by infarction of more than one coronary artery and involving more than one segment of the LV.
