Left ventricular aneurysmectomy with continuous beating heart: early results
Objective: Operative mortality after left ventricle aneurysmectomy is close to 15%. Specifically for this procedure, forms of myocardial protection have been little discussed. The purpose of this study was to evaluate immediate results of left anterior ventricular aneurysmectomy using the beating heart approach. Method: We performed a retrospective analysis of 34 patients who underwent a left a...
متن کاملEfficacy of aneurysmectomy in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction: favorable short‐ and long‐term results in ischemic cardiomyopathy
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to (1) identify the functional results after aneurysm surgery in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and (2) identify predictors of favorable outcomes. METHODS AND MATERIAL Patients (n = 169) with angiographic left ventricular ejection fraction of 22 ± 5% underwent aneurysm surgery and were prospectively followed for three years. Prior to surgery, ...
متن کاملCURRENT TOPICS Indications for Left Ventricular Aneurysmectomy
MORE THAN 25 years ago, C.P. Bailey performed the first successful left ventricular aneurysmectomy in a human being.' Since then, with cardiopulmonary bypass and improved surgical techniques, aneurysmectomy has become an established procedure available to patients with ventricular aneurysms and severe symptoms. In this paper we review the available literature concerned with elective left ventri...
متن کاملLong-term results after reconstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract by aortoventriculoplasty.
BACKGROUND Aortoventriculoplasty is an established method of reconstruction of complex left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction by insertion of a mechanical valve prosthesis after patch enlargement of the LVOT. Little data exist with respect to long-term outcome. METHODS Between March 1991 and June 2001, 24 patients with a median age of 10.7 (range, 2.1 to 66) years underwent aortove...
متن کاملLong-term results in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy after weaning from left ventricular assist devices.
BACKGROUND Since our first successful left ventricular assist device (LVAD) explantation in a patient with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDCM) in 1995, an additional 31 IDCM patients have been weaned in our department. Echocardiographic evaluations during repeated "off-pump" trials were the cornerstone for weaning decisions. After 9 years of experience, we assessed the reliability of our w...
