Highlights the successful surgical management of a rare large inferolateral left ventricular aneurysm presenting with heart failure and mitral regurgitation.
Supports individualized surgical decisions for rare inferolateral LV aneurysms with HF/MR; leaves open optimal strategies pending larger series.
The majority of cardiac left ventricular aneurysms involve the anterior and/or apical wall. We present a case of a 50-year-old man with heart failure caused by a large inferolateral left ventricular aneurysm and associated mitral regurgitation, managed by aneurysmectomy, mitral valvuloplasty, and surgical revascularization.
