Congenital Left Ventricular Aneurysm

A Rare Case of Congenital Left Ventricular Aneurysm With Mitral Regurgitation and Absent Lower Limb Pulsations

“…They may present with systemic embolism, valve regurgitation, ventricular rupture, or ventricular arrhythmias, sometimes life threatening. 2 Our patient did not have clinical features of arrhythmias, but ECG showed conduction disturbances. Surgical repair is the gold standard; however controversy exists about surgical approach and technique.…”

“…1 A congenital left ventricular aneurysm is a rare condition involving protrusion or out pouching of a portion of the ventricular wall with a broad connection to the ventricular cavity which may or may not have paradoxical systolic expansion. 2 The combination of CLVA with mitral insufficiency is rare. The largest series of these kinds of aneurysms that were found in the literature is 6 cases over a period of 11years, described by Elio Marijon et al in 2006.…”

Fetal Diagnosis of Left Ventricular Aneurysm: A Case Report

“…Although the aneurysm may arise from the ventricular septum, the wall, or the apical region, apical aneurysm are the most common 2. Congenital left ventricular aneurysms are not typically associated with other intracardiac anomalies 7. Complications include spontaneous rupture, arrhythmia, congestive heart failure, thromboembolism, and a mass effect resulting in underdevelopment of the lungs 2,8.…”

Prenatal diagnosis of left ventricular aneurysm

“…This fetus showed no other intra- or extracardiac anomaly; other anomalies are only rarely associated with such aneurysms. [5]…”
