Population

7 patients (4 males, 3 females) aged 47 to 63 years with post-infarction left ventricular pseudoaneurysm, followed for 2 months to 13 years.

Intervention

Surgical repair (direct closing, cut and patching, or Dor procedure) along with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Gan et al. (2009) conducted a case report in post-infarction left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (n=7). Surgical repair was evaluated on Operative mortality and survival. Surgical repair of post-infarction left ventricular pseudoaneurysm in 6 patients resulted in no operative deaths, with 5 patients surviving during a follow-up of 2 months to 13 years.
