Beating-heart surgical repair is a viable and successful approach for managing the rare and complex mechanical complications of intramyocardial dissection and left ventricular aneurysm following acute myocardial infarction.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May be feasible in select post-MI complications; leaves open need for comparative studies before broader adoption.
We describe a rare case of a 60-year-old woman suffering from intramyocardial dissection and left ventricular aneurysm secondary to acute myocardial infarction. A rare form of ventricular septal rupture resulted from intramyocardial dissection deterioration, which was identified during echocardiographic follow-up. Surgical repair under beating-heart cardiopulmonary bypass was successful.

Liu et al. (2016) conducted a case report in Intramyocardial dissection and left ventricular aneurysm secondary to acute myocardial infarction (n=1). Surgical repair with beating-heart cardiopulmonary bypass grafting and defect repair was evaluated on Surgical success and recovery. Surgical repair under beating-heart cardiopulmonary bypass successfully treated a 60-year-old woman with intramyocardial dissection and left ventricular aneurysm secondary to acute myocardial infarction.
