Two cases of ventricular septal aneurysm are reported, one in the membranous septum and one in the muscular portion. The diagnosis was made by selective left ventricular angiography. It is suggested that these cases represent spontaneous closure of a ventricular septal defect with weakness and aneurysmal [see table in the PDF file] formation due to the high left ventricular pressure. Both are asymptomatic and hemodynamically within normal limits. Surgical repair of the aneurysms is not considered necessary.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
