Overview

Supports feasibility of combined repair in post-MI LV pseudoaneurysm; leaves open survival benefit versus alternatives in larger cohorts.

Structured PICO

Does surgical resection combined with endoaneurysmorrhaphy improve survival and functional capacity in patients with postinfarction left ventricular pseudoaneurysm?

P
Population
5 symptomatic patients diagnosed with postinfarction left ventricular pseudoaneurysm, mean age 66.8 +/- 10.8 years, 3 males and 2 females.
I
Intervention
Surgical resection of the pseudoaneurysm combined with an endoaneurysmorrhaphy procedure.
O
Outcome
Survival, hospital stay duration, and functional capacity (NYHA class).hard clinical

Surgical repair of postinfarction left ventricular pseudoaneurysm combined with endoaneurysmorrhaphy is associated with low mortality and improved functional capacity.
