Surgical treatment of post infarction left ventricular aneurysms. 1984

V S Rabotnikov, and V P Kertsman, and T V Vasilidze

The results of surgical treatment of post-infarction left ventricular aneurysms (PILVA) in 121 patients are analyzed. 64 patients underwent resection of the aneurysm, in 57 the resection was combined with aortocoronary shunt. Hospital mortality amounted to 11.6%. Analysis of mortality in relation to the initial values of the clinical, haemodynamic and contractility indicators has shown that the results of surgical treatment depend on the contractile function of the viable part of the left ventricle, on the blood flow in the left ventricular lateral wall and on the cardiac output. After surgery, signs of heart failure diminished or disappeared in 81% of the patients. The postoperative clinical course depended on the preoperative value of the ejection fraction of the contracting part of the left ventricle. Stenocardial pain disappeared or its frequency decreased in 91% of the patients. The patients' survival rate in the five-year postoperative period was 68%. The main factors of long-term prognosis were the degree of the coronary affection and the contraction capacity of the viable myocardium.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009203 Myocardial Infarction NECROSIS of the MYOCARDIUM caused by an obstruction of the blood supply to the heart (CORONARY CIRCULATION).

D011184 Postoperative Period The period following a surgical operation. Period, Postoperative,Periods, Postoperative,Postoperative Periods
D011379 Prognosis A prediction of the probable outcome of a disease based on a individual's condition and the usual course of the disease as seen in similar situations. Prognostic Factor,Prognostic Factors,Factor, Prognostic,Factors, Prognostic,Prognoses
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.

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.

D006352 Heart Ventricles The lower right and left chambers of the heart. The right ventricle pumps venous BLOOD into the LUNGS and the left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood into the systemic arterial circulation.
