Cardiovascular imaging of a giant left ventricular aneurysm.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Doente do sexo masculino, 73 anos, com antecedentes pessoais de doença arterial coronária e enfarte agudo do miocárdio ínfero-posterior, referenciado à consulta de cardiologia por queixas de insuficiência cardíaca crónica NYHA III. O ecocardiograma transtorácico revelou a presença de pseudoaneurisma/aneurisma ventricular inferior e posterior gigante, preenchido parcialmente por trombo, e condicionando deformação significativa da geometria ventricular (Figura 1; Vídeo 1-4). Apesar das suas grandes dimensões, o aparelho subvalvular mitral encontrava-se íntegro, não existindo regurgitação. Dada a dúvida no diagnóstico diferencial, foi realizada ressonância magnética cardíaca que confirmou tratar-se de aneurisma ventricular gigante (maior eixo de 6,7 cm) com trombo no seu interior (Figura 2; Vídeo 5-6), pelo que iniciou terapêutica anticoagulante.

Surgical treatment of a giant left ventricular aneurysm- A case report
An aneurysm of the left ventricle is a complication of acute myocardial infarction. We report a case of a giant aneurysm of the left ventricle after myocardial infarction in a 59 year-old male patient. The surgery to correct the aneurysm was performed with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass under normothermia. A bovine pericardial patch was used for the geometric reconstruction of the ventricula...
متن کاملThe Correlation between Left and Right Ventricular Ejection Fractions in Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease, Documented by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Introduction: The correlation between right and left ventricular ejection fractions (RVEF and LVEF, respectively) has been studied in only a small number of patients with a marked decrease in RVEF and LVEF. The aim of the present study was to compare LVEF and RVEF in patients with ischemic heart disease. RVEF and LVEF were measured by Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) imaging. Materials a...
