Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Left ventricle thrombi occurring following myocardial infarction are usually left to spontaneous resolution to avoid a left ventriculotomy in the early phase of myocardial healing. We describe a simple and safe method of ventricular closure in patients with left ventricular thrombi embolizing to the lower extremities following acute anterior myocardial infarction. Ventricles were closed by epicardially running 5/0 polypropylene sutures in continuous fashion to avoid the myocardial tearing of heavier suture materials and the late adverse effects of Teflon use. In follow-up of the patients, no early and late complications were found with this method. |
