Why the study?
With improved medical therapy and earlier interventions such as PCI, the incidence of large left ventricular aneurysms (>3cm) and surgical treatment is increasingly rare.

Rare giant LVA of unclear etiology reported; leaves open non-ischemic mechanisms and management in the PCI era.
Giant ventricular aneurysms remain an indication for surgical intervention, which can restore cardiac geometry with good outcomes, especially in patients with preserved ejection fraction.
Liu et al. (2022) studied this question.
