Surgical treatment of left ventricular aneurysms. 1986

C Marks, and A Miller, and V Yakirevich, and B Vidne

An analysis of 37 patients surgically treated for left ventricular aneurysms provides preoperative clinical information regarding surgical risk. Operative mortality can be correlated with clinical and cardiac functional data as well as with the extent of coronary artery disease. Review of operative mortality in relation to the surgical procedure and the functional status of survivors indicates that aorto-coronary bypass grafting, complementary to aneurysmectomy, not only relieves angina pectoris, but also improves the functional status of the residual myocardium.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009204 Myocardial Revascularization The restoration of blood supply to the myocardium. (From Dorland, 28th ed) Internal Mammary Artery Implantation,Myocardial Revascularizations,Revascularization, Myocardial,Revascularizations, Myocardial
D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.

D005260 Female Females
D006322 Heart Aneurysm A localized bulging or dilatation in the muscle wall of a heart (MYOCARDIUM), usually in the LEFT VENTRICLE. Blood-filled aneurysms are dangerous because they may burst. Fibrous aneurysms interfere with the heart function through the loss of contractility. True aneurysm is bound by the vessel wall or cardiac wall. False aneurysms are HEMATOMA caused by myocardial rupture. Cardiac Aneurysm,Aneurysm, Cardiac,Aneurysm, Heart,Aneurysms, Cardiac,Aneurysms, Heart,Cardiac Aneurysms,Heart Aneurysms
D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
