Key result
Surgical repair of post-MI LVA with CABG is linked to ~19% in-hospital mortality.
Observational (n=27)
No
Surgical repair of post-myocardial infarction left ventricular aneurysm with concomitant CABG is feasible but carries significant hospital mortality, highlighting the need for careful patient selection and surgical expertise.

Significant in-hospital mortality supports individualized selection; leaves open optimal timing and techniques in contemporary cohorts.
Taha et al. (2014) conducted an observational in Left ventricular aneurysm following myocardial infarction (n=27). Surgical repair of left ventricular aneurysm (linear or Dor procedure, mostly with concomitant CABG) was evaluated on Hospital mortality. Surgical repair of post-myocardial infarction left ventricular aneurysm, predominantly with concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting, was associated with an 18.5% in-hospital mortality rate.
