Dor Operation for a Young Male with Left Ventricular Aneurysm due to Spontaneous Left Anterior Descending Coronary Artery Dissection

JOURNAL OF CARDIAC SURGERY, Issue 1 2004

We describe a young male who had a myocardial infarction with left ventricular aneurysm due to spontaneous left anterior descending coronary artery dissection. He was successfully treated with Dor's left ventriculoplasty without coronary artery revascularization. The Dor procedure was a simple and effective treatment. To our knowledge, this is the first report in which the Dor procedure was used to treat spontaneous coronary artery dissection with left ventricular aneurysm. (J Card Surg 2004;19:54-56) [source]


Left Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm Developing as a Late Complication of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting with Apicoseptal Plication

Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a false aneurysm, which results from a left ventricle rupture contained by adherent pericardium or scar tissue. The most common etiology of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is acute myocardial infarction but one-third of pseudoaneurysms develop following surgery. We present a case report of a patient who developed a false aneurysm of the left ventricle 2 months following surgical repair of a left ventricular aneurysm with a concomitant coronary bypass.

Surgical Repair of a Congenital Left Ventricular Aneurysm

A 9-year-old boy with complaints of dyspnea and palpitation was diagnosed with a left ventricular aneurysm originating from the left ventricle free wall. Aneurysm resection and endoventricular patch repair was performed. Postoperative follow-up was uncomplicated and follow-up echocardiographs showed normal left ventricular contractility. [source]
