The resulting abnormal geometry after surgical treatment of left
ventricular aneurysm has concerned a number of surgeons since the first
successful repair in 1958, but little attention was placed on the altered
geometry until attempts were made to effect a more physiologic
aneurysmorrhaphy in 1973. Substantial attention was focused on a concept of
geometric reconstruction from within the left ventricle in 1985. A
prosthetic patch was employed with the concept to redirect normal muscle
bundles to their original orientation and position. Further refinements
include use of improved materials for the repair, preservation and bypass
of the left anterior descending coronary artery, ablation of ventricular
arrhythmias when indicated, and the absence of prosthetic material used in
contact with the pericardial surface. Our experience with repair of 61 left
ventricular aneurysms at West Jefferson Medical Center over a 4 1/2-year
period with a 3.3% mortality rate has prompted a change from the standard
linear repair to routine use of a modified endoventricular repair.
Currently, the low surgical risk due to advances in left ventricular
aneurysmorrhaphy combined with the knowledge that contractile areas will
progressively deteriorate in ventricles stressed by poor hemodynamics and
with data showing improved left ventricular function postoperatively have
led to more liberal recommendations for early left ventricular aneurysm
repair.
