Does early surgical treatment improve survival in patients with left ventricular pseudoaneurysm?
Early surgical repair of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is associated with relatively low postoperative mortality and favorable long-term survival.
Milgalter et al. (1987) conducted a case report in Pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricle (n=5). Surgical treatment was evaluated on Survival. Early surgical treatment of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm resulted in survival for 4 out of 5 patients, who remained well 2 to 14 years postoperatively.
