Idiopathic Left Ventricle Aneurysm

[False aneurysm of the left ventricle].

Post-traumatic aneurysm of the left ventricle.

Three cases of left ventricular aneurysm secondary to external violence are reported. Each patient presented with a pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricle, following penetrating trauma in two instances and blunt trauma in the third instance. The interval between injury and diagnosis ranged from 5 months to 24 years. Two patients underwent successful resection of the aneurysm. Repair was not attem...

Traumatic Aneurysm of the Left Ventricle.

Although aneurysm of the heart is still thought to be a somewhat rare and unusual pathological condition, recent work shows that it occurs not infrequently after coronary occlusion and infarction. Parkinson, Bedford, and Thompson (1938) estimate that it occurs in 9 per cent. of cases of cardiac infarction examined at necropsy. In the absence of coronary disease, aneurysm of the heart appears to...

From Small Coronary Artery Aneurysm to Giant Left Ventricle Aneurysm

OBJECTIVE To underscore how challenging the treatment of a coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) can be and highlight the need for consensus guidelines based on focused registries. CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION A 58-year-old man presented with acute coronary syndrome and underwent elective stent placement on a right CAA. The procedure was complicated by inferior acute myocardial infarction;...

Sawfish left ventricle: acute myocarditis presenting with left ventricular aneurysm.

The effects of mesenchymal stem cells transduced with Akt in a porcine myocardial infarction model. Monolayered mesenchymal stem cells repair scarred myocardium after myocardial infarction. Liu HW et al. Transplantation of autologous adipose-derived stem cells ameliorates cardiac function in rabbits with myocar-dial infarction. Timing of intra-coronary bone-marrow-derived stem cell transplantat...
