Patch reconstruction for post-infarction left ventricular aneurysms (LVA) showed superior outcomes compared to direct closure, particularly for septal aneurysms. Both methods improved ejection fraction and reduced ventricular pressures, but patch repair offered better overall reconstruction.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Cardiac Reconstruction
  • Heart Aneurysm Treatment

Background:

  • Post-infarction left ventricular aneurysms (LVA) pose significant risks.
  • Surgical repair aims to restore ventricular function and prevent complications.
  • Patch reconstruction and direct closure are primary surgical techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the efficacy of patch reconstruction versus direct closure for LVA.
  • To evaluate the impact of these surgical techniques on left ventricular function.
  • To assess hemodynamic parameters following surgical repair of LVAs.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective comparison of 15 patients undergoing patch reconstruction and 9 undergoing direct closure for LVA.
  • Assessment of hemodynamic parameters including ejection fraction (EF), left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP), and cardiac index (CI) via RI angiography and cardiac catheterization.

  • Preoperative and postoperative (1-2 months) evaluations were conducted.

    • Main Results:

    • No significant preoperative differences were observed between the groups.
    • Both techniques led to significant postoperative improvements in EF (p < 0.01), LVEDVI (p < 0.01), and LVEDP (p < 0.05).
    • Patch reconstruction demonstrated superior results for septal aneurysm repair based on postoperative ventriculograms, with no significant differences in CI or mean pulmonary artery pressure between groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Both patch reconstruction and direct closure improve left ventricular function after LVA resection.
    • Patch reconstruction is significantly superior for repairing septal LVAs.
    • Further research may explore long-term outcomes and optimal patient selection for each technique.
