Surgical treatment of left ventricular post-infarction aneurysm with endoventriculoplasty: late clinical and functional results1

Abstract: We conclude that, in our patients group, EVP of left ventricular aneurysm associated with coronary grafting improves clinical status after operation. We registered a trend for a mild hemodynamic worsening, irrespective of coronary artery disease except in those patients who had shown a normal postoperative contraction pattern.

“…The linear repair technique cannot exclude the septal scar, and also carries the risk of creating a restrictive residual LV cavity, especially in large aneurysms, leading to diastolic dysfunction and LV failure [27,78,79]. Sizing of the residual LV cavity in EVR, either by an intracavitary balloon or a commercially available shaper device to a volume of 50-60 ml/m 2 BSA avoids creating a residual LV cavity that is restrictive [9,29,39].…”

“…Among them, 18 trials [3-6, 9 -27] were identified and included in the analysis with a total of 1,814 and 803 patients who underwent linear and geometric reconstruction, respectively. The remaining five studies were excluded for uncertainty on reporting of perioperative results based on group assignment to linear or to geometric repair [23][24][25], for duplicate publication [26], or because the number of patients was lower than 10 in one of the treatment arms [27].…”

“…(7). Di Mattia et al have suggested that a postoperative symmetrical contraction pattern is prognostic for a better hemodynamic trend in the long-term follow-up (8). Endoventriculoplasty using autologous endocardium, as a modification of the Dor technique, restores the ventricular geometry without leaving any segment of noncontractile ventricular wall and avoids the usage of prosthetic materials.…”
