Large inferolateral left ventricular aneurysm.

ABSTRACT: The majority of cardiac left ventricular aneurysms involve the anterior and/or apical wall. We present a case of a 50-year-old man with heart failure caused by a large inferolateral left ventricular aneurysm and associated mitral regurgitation, managed by aneurysmectomy, mitral valvuloplasty, and surgical revascularization.

A left ventricular true aneurysm.

Project description:True ventricular aneurysm is a scarred wall that most commonly results after an unrevascularized ST elevation myocardial infarction. Patients usually present with heart failure, angina, ventricular arrhythmia, systemic embolization, or ventricular rupture. Diagnosis can be achieved via echocardiography, left ventricle angiogram, cardiac computed tomography, or cardiac magnetic resonance.

Idiopathic 'True' Left Ventricular Aneurysm.

Project description:We report the case of a 67-year-old patient who presented with anginal symptoms to the hospital. Computed tomographic angiography, to rule out a pulmonary embolism, showed a left ventricular apical outpouching. The patient underwent further imaging modalities, including contrast echocardiography (TTE) and cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR), which were suggestive of a true left ventricular aneurysm (LVA). The absence of obstructive coronary artery disease on coronary angiography, absence of late enhancement on the CMR, and ultimately the intraoperative findings during surgical resection of the aneurysm, were strong indicators of a non-ischemic etiology of the patient's LVA. Additionally, the patient denied any previous history of cardiac instrumentation to rule out iatrogenic causes of LVA and congenital causes were excluded by a previous echocardiogram. Finally, history and presenting electrocardiogram did not reveal any other underlying obvious causes for the LVA. Excluding all common causes for the LVA an idiopathic cause seemed most likely.
