Implication

May warrant consideration for refractory post-MI ventricular tachycardia; leaves open whether this extends beyond isolated cases.

Structured PICO

Does surgical resection of a post-infarction ventricular aneurysm correct intractable ventricular tachycardia?

P
Population
1 patient with intractable ventricular tachycardia associated with a post-infarction ventricular aneurysm
I
Intervention
Surgical resection of the ventricular aneurysm
O
Outcome
Correction of ventricular tachycardia and recovery

Surgical resection of a post-infarction ventricular aneurysm can be a curative treatment for intractable ventricular tachycardia.
