Predictors of operative survival and long-term outcomes after ventricular aneurysmectomy were identified. Patient contractility grade, age, and year of operation influenced survival rates, not the specific repair technique used.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Cardiac Surgery Outcomes

Background:

  • Ventricular aneurysm repair has evolved since 1958.
  • Techniques and perioperative care have improved, reducing risks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Identify predictors of operative survival.
  • Determine factors for improved long-term outcomes in ventricular aneurysmectomy patients.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 523 patients undergoing ventricular aneurysmectomy.
  • Data collected from 1968 to 1993.

Main Results:

  • Overall operative mortality was 8%.
  • Median survival reached 128 months.
  • Contractility grade, patient age, and year of operation predicted operative mortality and long-term survival.

Conclusions:

  • Ventricular aneurysmectomy is a safe procedure.
  • Established techniques are effective.
  • Operative mortality and long-term survival are not strongly dependent on the specific repair technique employed.
