Key result
Surgical aneurysmectomy resolves a giant congenital LV aneurysm, improving LVEF to 50% at one year.
Why the study?
Congenital left ventricular aneurysm is a rare abnormality that must be differentiated from left ventricular diverticulum, presenting potential discrepancies between clinical presentation and disease severity.
Population
A 3-year-old girl with an incidental large apical left ventricular aneurysm

Surgical intervention for a giant congenital left ventricular aneurysm in an asymptomatic child can prevent lethal complications and lead to favorable outcomes with recovery of ventricular function.
Tabaei et al. (2026) conducted a case report in Congenital left ventricular aneurysm (n=1). Surgical aneurysmectomy and aneurysmorrhaphy was evaluated on Postoperative recovery and left ventricular function. Surgical aneurysmectomy and aneurysmorrhaphy successfully treated a giant congenital left ventricular aneurysm in an asymptomatic 3-year-old girl, with left ventricular ejection fraction improving to 50% at one-year follow-up.
