Key result
Modified linear endoventricular patchplasty and linear repair in patients with post-infarction left ventricular aneurysm resulted in 12.7% overall mortality and increased LVEF from 31.5% to 34.2%.
Why the study?
Does modified linear endoventricular patchplasty and linear repair improve cardiac function and geometry in patients with post-infarction left ventricular aneurysm?
Cohort (n=102)
Does modified linear endoventricular patchplasty and linear repair improve cardiac function and geometry in patients with post-infarction left ventricular aneurysm?
Modified linear endoventricular patchplasty and linear repair for post-infarction left ventricular aneurysm significantly improves left ventricular ejection fraction and reduces ventricular volumes.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Should not yet change practice for post-MI LV aneurysm; leaves open need for randomized trials to confirm benefit.
Parachuri et al. (2008) conducted a cohort in Post-infarction left ventricular aneurysm (n=102). Modified linear endoventricular patchplasty and linear repair was evaluated on Overall mortality. Modified linear endoventricular patchplasty and linear repair in patients with post-infarction left ventricular aneurysm resulted in 12.7% overall mortality and increased LVEF from 31.5% to 34.2%.
