Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A false aneurysm of the left ventricle that is in fact a contained rupture is rare. False aneurysms have been reported to be mostly at the posterior-basal and rarely at the apical segments of the left ventricle. Early surgical intervention is recommended because of the risk of rupture. This report describes the successful surgical management of two patients with false aneurysms of the left ventricle, located at the lateral wall and the inferior wall following a recent inferior and lateral-wall myocardial infarction. |
