This video presentation demonstrates surgical techniques for repairing post-infarct ventricular septal defects and left ventricular aneurysms with concomitant CABG.
Mechanical complications resulting from myocardial infarction usually have profound acute or chronic hemodynamic effects. Left ventricular aneurysm formation and ventricular septal rupture occurs in 10-20% patients after acute myocardial infarction [1-6]. Surgical techniques have gradually evolved since the first successful operation for post-infarct ventricular septal defect was performed by Cooley and colleagues in 1956 [2,3,6].
