Surgical treatment of left ventricular post-infarction aneurysm of the postero-basal localization in the parallel perfusion

The development of post-infarction left ventricular (LV) aneurysm is the most common and dangerous complication of coronary heart disease, aggravating the disease with pronounced decrease of the pumping function of the heart, rhythm disorders, systemic arterial thromboembolism. LV aneurysm treatment methods and their improvement combined with coronary artery bypass grafting are aimed at restoring adequate levels of LV volume and geometry, and improving its pumping function. The article presents the results of thrombosed aneurysm resection surgery with the LV reconstruction on beating heart.
