Why the study?
Does personalized surgical repair using a preoperative 3D systolic heart model improve ejection fraction and clinical outcomes in patients with left ventricular aneurysm?
Does personalized surgical repair using a preoperative 3D systolic heart model improve ejection fraction and clinical outcomes in patients with left ventricular aneurysm?
Preoperative 3D systolic heart modeling using gadolinium-enhanced MRI for left ventricular aneurysm repair significantly improves ejection fraction and functional status.
May support 3D modeling for LV aneurysm repair; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
