Kataoka et al. (1982) conducted a case report in Right ventricular aneurysm due to myocardial fatty infiltration (n=1). Aneurysmectomy was evaluated on Abolishment of ventricular premature beats and syncopal attacks. Aneurysmectomy effectively abolished ventricular premature beats and syncopal attacks in a 39-year-old man with a right ventricular aneurysm caused by myocardial fatty infiltration.
