Key result
Dor surgery successfully treats an enlarging, thrombosed ventricular aneurysm following prior septal perforation repair.
Why the study?
Reports of ventricular aneurysm in the remote stage following repair of ventricular septal perforation are scarce.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Surgical intervention with the Dor procedure is effective for treating remote-stage enlarging ventricular aneurysms with massive thrombus following ventricular septal perforation repair.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Supports Dor surgery consideration for rare late post-VSP aneurysms with thrombus; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before broader use.

Endo et al. (2024) conducted a case report in Ventricular aneurysm with massive thrombus after ventricular septal perforation repair (n=1). Dor surgery and thrombus removal was evaluated on Surgical success and patient recovery. Dor surgery successfully treated an enlarging ventricular aneurysm with massive thrombus that developed 5 years after ventricular septal perforation repair in a 71-year-old woman.
