Mitral annular subvalvular left ventricular aneurysm.

چکیده
Annular subvalvular left ventricular aneurysm was first reported in 1962. This type of aneurysm usually arises from the annular subaortic or submitral region of the left ventricle. It should be differentiated from the left ventricular false aneurysm, which was caused by myocardial necrosis. The etiology of subvalvular aneurysm remains unclear. We have presented a case of annular submitral left ventricular aneurysm. The patient had no history of coronary artery disease. Two-dimensional echocardiography and magnetic resonance image (MRI) showed a huge left ventricular aneurysm existed. An annular submitral left ventricular aneurysm was confirmed by an open heart surgery and pathological examination.

Perforated submitral left ventricular aneurysm resulting in severe mitral annular regurgitation.
Annular submitral left ventricular aneurysm, which predominantly occurs in blacks who live in tropical regions of Africa, is a relatively unknown cardiac condition in the United States. We describe a patient with submitral left ventricular aneurysm who underwent resection of the mass and of the native mitral valve, followed by mitral valve replacement.
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Aneurysms of Uncertain Aetiology.
An unusual type of annular, subvalvular left ventricular aneurysm has recently been described in Nigerians by Robertson and Jackson (1960) and Abrahams et al. (1962). A search revealed reports of similar cardiac aneurysms of unknown etiology (Corvisart, 1813; Hunter and Benson, 1933; Berlin and Hallen, 1938; Burn, Hollander, and Crawford, 1943; Higginson and Keeley, 1951; Brink and Barnard, 195...
متن کاملMitral Subvalvular Aneurysm in a Patient with Chagas Disease and Recurrent Episodes of Ventricular Tachycardia
Subvalvular left ventricular aneurysm is a rare disease of obscure origin suggesting unique causes such as congenital, traumatic, and inflammatory or infectious diseases. Its mortality is closely related to heart failure, mitral insufficiency, thromboembolic phenomena, and cardiac arrhythmias. Although association with coronary artery disease is not described, the compression of epicardial vess...
متن کاملMitral valve replacement for an annular submitral aneurysm of the left ventricle.
Successful surgical repair of an annular submitral aneurysm of the left ventricle in two patients is described. In both cases the diagnosis was made at surgery and they were treated successfully by transatrial closure of the aneurysm with Teflon felted sutures and mitral valve replacement. This is the first report of the use of mitral valve replacement for this condition.
متن کاملRepair of posterior left ventricular aneurysm through transatrial approach.
Repair of posterior left ventricular ischemic aneurysms implies an extracardiac approach to reshape the ventricular geometry frequently associated with mitral surgery. A transatrial technique was described for lesions following mitral surgery or for subvalvular idiopathic cases. A transmitral approach was used for ischemic or traumatic pseudoaneurysm. We describe a case of postinfarction poster...
