Surgical reconstruction of coexisting left ventricular aneurysm and pseudoaneurysm in a patient with ventricular tachycardia: a case report

This case underscores the importance of comprehensive imaging to characterize complex post-infarction LV remodelling. Surgical exclusion of scarred myocardium effectively restored LV geometry, improved cardiac function, and reduced arrhythmic risk. The successful repair provides insight into the decision-making process regarding optimal timing and technique for LV reconstruction.

Abstract

This case underscores the importance of comprehensive imaging to characterize complex post-infarction LV remodelling. Surgical exclusion of scarred myocardium effectively restored LV geometry, improved cardiac function, and reduced arrhythmic risk. The successful repair provides insight into the decision-making process regarding optimal timing and technique for LV reconstruction.
